Domestic violence shelters face crisis amid potential government shutdown

Domestic violence shelters in Michigan face a critical threat due to potential federal funding cuts and an impasse in the state budget negotiations. With a deadline of October 1, services like Turning Point Macomb and HAVEN are at risk of reducing essential support, including shelter beds and counseling, as they anticipate severe budget reductions. Nonprofits are urging the public to contact lawmakers to prevent a government shutdown and protect vulnerable individuals.
