Community Support Made New Shelter Possible The Carson-Newman College homeless shelter for women and families is moving. They credit support from the community for making the new facility possible. The shelter is operated by the college's Appalachian Outreach ministry. Next month the Samaritan House will begin to provide shelter for those who need it for up to 45 days. This will allow residents to get a job and save money for deposits needed for their own apartment and utilities. Donations of labor and materials cut the cost of the over 12-thousand square-foot building in half. The new space includes a bunk room for single women and several two-bedroom suits for families.
