VIRGINIA â After four decades of serving northern St. Louis County, the Virginia Family Resource Center is expected to suspend its emergency shelter services at the end of June, officials said.
The Lutheran Social Service of Minnesota has been using county funds to operate the 10-bed shelter in Virginia.
A spokesperson for St. Louis County said in a news release that the need for the shelter has âdecreased significantlyâ due to various reasons which include: âfewer children entering out-of-home placements; increased use of relatives to provide emergency foster care; an increase in the high-level behavioral health needs of some children that have surpassed what can be provided at the shelter; and the development of county-licensed emergency foster care homes which can provide emergency care for children in smaller family settings.â
