The Washington City Mission held a “Topping Off” Ceremony on Thursday, to celebrate the final steel beam being set into place for their new, fifty-bed Women’s Shelter. The new shelter will be called, “Sally’s Sanctuary,” after the mission’s former Chief Development Officer, Dr. Sally Mounts. Mounts announced last month that after eleven years with the mission, she would be retiring at the end of September. The shelter will be a 50 bed facility for homeless women. It will compliment the Mission’s other facilities such as the Crabtree-Kovacicek Veteran’s House, the Men’s Shelter, Women with Children Shelter and Sally’s House. According to Irey-Vaughan, City Mission is currently receiving 60 calls per month from women seeking help. It is a $7.1 million project that is expected to be completed in the next 12-14 months.
