Community Project Funding/Congressionally Directed Spending - Construction - WEAVE serves victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and sex trafficking through an array of services, including a comprehensive residential services program serving survivors and their children. Through this project, WEAVE will complete a series of facility improvements on its confidential three-acre residential campus which is home to a large Safehouse that can accomodate18 families at a time with emergency shelter for up to six months, six Transitional Housing cottages where families can stay for up to 24 months, and a Children’s Center offering an onsite charter school, play care and counseling for the children of survivors. Due to the nature of domestic violence relationships, a secure campus is essential to the safety of the families staying at WEAVE and the agency employees and volunteers who staff the facility 24 hours per day. Funding will be used to address identified vulnerabilities and increase the security of the property. Improvements to increase facility safety will include installation of crash rated bollards at the entryway and sidewalks leading to housing units; installation of a sally port (car trap) at the entrance; replacement of chain-link perimeter fencing and gates with 6 to 8 feet tall, galvanized wire mesh anti-climb/anti-cut fencing; and installation of polypropylene spikes on top of the fencing. Funds will pay for staff salaries for project management as well as the purchase of materials and labor for installation to complete the improvements. The work is expected to be completed between October 1, 2022, and September 30, 2024.
