	Welcome to the YWCA Cass Clay
		The purpose of the Emergency Shelter is to provide safe housing to women and children, along with advocacy and education, in order that current residents may attain alternative housing.
		Families seek safe shelter for a variety of reasons: escaping an abusive relationship (41%), economic hardship (10%), relocation to Fargo-Moorhead (9%), and homelessness (31%) and the remaining women and children are seeking refuge from emergency situations, because of medical reasons and alcohol or substance abuse.
		Upon exiting the YWCA Shelter, Kara was told that she could return if her situation worsened and she knows that if she ever needs a place to go the door to the YWCA Emergency Shelter is always open.

	Emergency shelter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Emergency shelters are places for people to live temporarily when they can't live in their previous residence, similar to homeless shelters.
		The main difference is that an emergency shelter typically specializes in people fleeing a specific type of situation, such as battered women, victims of domestic violence in general, or victims of sexual abuse.
		Temporary emergency shelters or "refugee shelters" are often set up by non-profit organizations like the Red Cross and Red Crescent, or governmental emergency management departments, in response to natural disasters, such as a flood or earthquake, or in response to terrorist attacks in which civilians are evacuated.

		Additionally, emergency shelters and transitional programs rarely assist families in overcoming the tremendous barriers they face in accessing permanent housing, such as poor credit and eviction histories, unemployment and lack of move-in funds.

		Shelters can be built to give excellent protection against all nuclear weapon effects, except in places within or very close to cratered areas.
