New Horizon seeks plan to reopen after 60 day suspension
Donors deserve a clear plan as New Horizon Family Center suspends services for 60 days amid ongoing financial hardship. Director Patrina Pelton-Smith cited grant issues and reduced cash and in kind donations. Area shelters and HHSC note funding shifts while center staff report extensive services to over 1,000 clients and thousands of hot line calls. Publisher Janie Gray urges transparent fundraising and reorganization to resume care for battered women and families.
