As women came to us from increasingly diverse circumstances, we rapidly created diverse programs to help them. In 1984, we sought out women on the streets with a nightly outreach route by van, and Madison’s new “Blue Room” served women who were elderly or very ill. A year later, we began a job training program in Madison’s kitchen and opened a new domestic violence crisis shelter with ample room for 5 women and their children.
