67. Gee, I wish I knew where that shelter is and if they have any openings
The shelter I worked at operated on less than 300k per year with an unusual variety of services including sexual assault counseling and advocacy, a drug and alcohol prevention program, children's services, counseling, etc. We received a number of kind donations from the community, more, in fact, than we could always use. Including soap. What we didn't have was money to offer competitive salary for staff which is why I finally had to go elsewhere. The multiple cuts to what insurance was paid for, coupled with the lack of any raises or cost of living adjustments was eventually too great a cut in pay for me to afford to work there any longer.

I really can't imagine a shelter that is a 'sham'- especially considering the constant fear (and the reality of) of budget cuts ending programs and forcing good workers out of their jobs.
