Coalition seeks housing for female inmates in Front Royal facility
Shifflett notes ongoing demand for female housing with three counties lacking beds and plans to move the smaller house to accommodate women. The coalition could provide housing if a permit is approved, coordinating with drug treatment courts to house female participants. Tenants face drug screens, employment requirements, and rent, with past tenants failing to meet rules. The first permit drew mixed local reaction as neighbors feared crime, while supporters urged needed transitional housing as grant funds for Winchester housing have ended.
