An anti-domestic violence village in Sylva is in jeopardy. It has been run by the nonprofit REACH. REACH secured state and federal loans totaling $1.1 million in 2001 to construct nine units, primarily for low-income victims of domestic violence. REACH, however, has had trouble making loan payments, so it must come up with $100,000-$150,000 before any more funds are made available by the state. The organization has not been able to budget funds to bridge state injections. It has had trouble paying employees and water bills. To solve the problem, another nonprofit, Mountain Projects, accepted an offer to assume responsibility for an $840,074 loan. Mountain Projects is optimistic it can secure grants to cover it. What Mountain Projects can’t cover is expected to be picked up by the NC Housing Finance Agency.
