The Shade Tree is closing its transitional women’s shelter.
The program provides services for up to 160 people.
Homeless women and those leaving abusive relationships can stay for up to a year.
It’s the largest shelter of its kind in Nevada, which consistently ranks at the top of the worst states for domestic violence.
The program will end Aug. 31 due to a funding squeeze.
Executive director Stacey Lockhart said she hopes the closing isn’t permanent.
The shelter hopes to raise $2.3 million to reopen the program.
