Councilor Brown highlights shelter capacity gap and fundraiser for CASDA
Summary
Councilor Brown reported CASDA has turned away about 500 requests for help in the past year and urged support for a New Year’s Eve fundraiser as the organization expands space in East End.
Councilor Brown told the Superior Common Council that CASDA, described in the meeting as a center for women in distress and domestic abuse, has a severe capacity shortage in Superior and has turned away about 500 requests for help over the past year.
Brown said CASDA purchased a former doctor’s office in the East End and is renovating it to expand shelter capacity; she said the organization had hoped to open 10 family rooms but currently has only three available and expected six more to be completed soon. Brown urged the public to support a New Year’s Eve fundraiser with tickets priced at $45 and said tickets would be available at local outlets and at the door.
Her remarks were made during the business by councilors portion of the agenda and amounted to a community announcement rather than a council action; no funding appropriation, referral or formal motion accompanied the statement in the meeting record.
