FAQ
Why are men and women separated at Union Rescue Mission?
Union Rescue Mission is a safe house. Many women and children become homeless because they are fleeing domestic violence in their home, and may fear pursuit by their abuser. To protect all guests at URM, men and women guests in the building are separate at nearly all times (except supervised classes for men and women in programs.) Male and female children up to age 17 stay with their mothers in the Women's and Children's Dorms (male/female youth arrangements are carefully configured). Unaccompanied youth are referred to other agencies for services.
