Turning Point considers new facility to replace its shelter

Turning Point Domestic Violence Services will announce Thursday at a brief annual report at The Commons that it will begin considering a new facility to replace its shelter that has housed clients since the early 1980s.

The news will be part of the nonprofit agency’s annual report to the community at 5:30 p.m. before its fundraiser event The Not-So-Newlywed Game. The game features local married couples highlighting healthy relationships amid National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Tickets are still available for that at turningpointdv.org/events.

“We’re just announcing the concept (of a new facility) that the board is exploring,” said Lisa Shafran, Turning Point’s president.
