LIVERMORE — For Christine Dillman, executive director of Tri-Valley Haven, there’s nothing worse than telling someone who is trying to escape an abusive partner that the nonprofit’s shelter is full.
Now, Tri-Valley Haven, which is based in Livermore, is moving toward what Dillman described as a “defining moment” for domestic violence survivors in the East Bay. It plans by early next year to break ground on a $7.5 million rebuild of its shelter, named Shiloh. The Dublin City Council this month agreed to provide $240,000 to the project from a pool of Community Development Block Grant money.
Tri-Valley Haven in Livermore plans to break ground on a project that will expand the nonprofit’s domestic violence shelter capacity from 30 beds to 45. Typically, the nonprofit serves about 250 people per year at its shelter, she said. And while the shelter houses people from all over Alameda County — and southern Contra Costa County — more than 50% are from the Tri-Valley.
With the services of landscape architecture firm vanderToolen Associates, they’re also building in “a lot of greenery and just have it be a calm space where families can take a minute and play with their children,” Dillman said. She added, “This is a building that really can take us successfully 50 years into the future.”
Tri-Valley Haven’s aging domestic violence shelter is set to be replaced by a modern building that will include a computer lab and other upgraded amenities.
