New Bellevue emergency shelter helps homeless women
A new emergency shelter in Bellevue is providing a safe and warm place for dozens of women to spend the night.
The temporary shelter is in a multi-purpose room at Temple B'nai Torah and has taken in as many as 40 women on recent nights, according to organizers.
“Most of these women, if you saw them on the street, you would have no idea that they’re experiencing homelessness,” said Sydney Danziger, Temple B'nai Torah Senior Rabbi.
The temple partnered with The Sophia Way, a non-profit organization for homeless women, to open the overnight space, which will be available through May 2020.
