City of Refuge offers future for those with pasts in Texas
The seventh City of Refuge near Lexington Texas opens for about 65 men by October, with space later for women and youths. Donated upkeep and services come from Roloff Frangelisty Enterprises, and residents must attend church twice daily. Ex cons, addicts, juveniles or troubled individuals may apply, with no admission charge and a focus on rehabilitation.
