City of a little over a million.
Number of secure women's shelter beds: about 140
Number of secure women's secondary housing units: 80 (one, two and three bedroom apartments)
Capacity I am contracted to deliver for men fleeing abuse: 3 units/15 beds
Usage of domestic violence women's shelters over the last year: about 135% (ie children and women sleeping on floors)
Complete and total usage of our male abuse victim spaces OVER THE LAST FOUR YEARS: 0
Professionally, I absolutely do not deny the abuse of males by females, I have direct knowledge of a number of cases. But please cut the bullshit about the inequities of the shelter system, it is an absolute load of unadulterated HORSESHIT.
