NEW BRAUNFELS, Texas — The Crisis Center of Comal County is one step closer to rebuilding its new shelter, breaking ground for its new location
"We've been pretty much close to full since we've been leasing that building," said Dr. Julie Strentzsch, CEO of the Crisis Center of Comal County."And so unfortunately, as the county has expanded the needs of women and children and families to have a safe place to go has increased. So we're expanding this shelter will house almost four times more than what we're housing right now.
"This one will be 30,000 square feet," Strentzsch explained."Trauma-informed. It'll have apartment style pods for families to be in their own environment. And what we had before was what's called a congregate-style shelter. So everybody's kind of put it together in a small space, and so we really want this to be a trauma healing, safe place for those that have experienced violence.
