Pensacola, FL – FavorHouse of Northwest Florida has received state funds to use toward improvements to their Escambia County Emergency Shelter. Grantarenaus LLC, a local Pensacola company, won the bid for the project which includes all new flooring and paint throughout the facility. During the renovations, Escambia County shelter residents will be temporarily housed at the Santa Rosa shelter. Programs and services will not be interrupted. Anyone experiencing intimate partner violence should call the 24/7 hotline for crisis intervention at 850-434-6600.
FavorHouse Executive Director, Tracie Hodson states “We are excited by the opportunity to give our emergency shelter a much-needed facelift. The shelter hasn’t had any major renovations since Hurricane Ivan and things are definitely outdated. The survivors we serve in shelter are escaping from abuse and processing their trauma. We want to provide a fresh space for them to begin to build their new independent lives.”
FavorHouse is actively seeking volunteers to help with additional mini beautification projects in conjunction with the remodel to round out the project. If anyone is interested in volunteering, they can contact FavorHouse at 850-434-1177 or sign up at http://www.favorhouse.org.
