Reply #22: I have to wonder

[salin]

if it didn't have to do with the no contact with family type of rules - shelters often take those very, very seriously as it can lead to tragedy if the abuser is able to figure out (through a second party, who had contact with the abusee) where the victim (and kids, if kids are involved) are currently located - which then can put the victim and everyone at the shelter at great risk.

Only saying this, because rules along these lines are ones that I could understand that repeat violations might lead to eviction.

Now were it to turn out to be something petty - then I would jump in on the pile on.

However, as you point out - the mission, when read in context, reads as though it recognizes a group that can be particularly prone to domestic violence and focuses on breaking through those barriers to get information to those communities. In and of itself, not a bad thing at all. There is more to this story - and I will wait for more info (if ever learned) before jumping in.
