The State Library of North Carolina has awarded a grant to a Washington community college to create a room within a local women’s shelter that will give the women staying there – and their children – a space to meet with caseworkers, do homework, play, and search for jobs.
Beaufort County Community College plans to partner with Open Door Women's Shelter to establish the Navigation Room at the shelter, to address the limited privacy available and empower families to access resources and progress toward independence.
Funding came from the federal Institute of Museum and Library Services.
