The State and Municipal Facilities Capital Program funding will replace damaged windows and decayed siding and maintain the safety of the building, the location of which is secret to protect those staying there. Florence Ohle, executive director of Community Action of Greene County, said, “Survivors and their children coming to us for residential services deserve to be met in safe, welcoming spaces, and this grant will see that that is a reality now." Community Action’s domestic violence services include the safe house, transitional apartment housing, and assistance with obtaining orders of protection, social and supportive services, accompaniment to court proceedings, and counseling.
