URBANA--A Woman's Fund in Urbana says the state owes it more than 50-thousand dollars and time is running out. It has just a couple thousand dollars left in its bank account. Workers didn't even take home a paycheck last week. The shelter couldn't afford to cut them one. Its executive director says the state promises her 36-thousand dollars a month. About half that money covers workers' salaries. The rest pays for utilities and food. Tami Tunnell got one payment back in August. That was for 52-thousand dollars. Money which ran dry in about six weeks. Tunnell worries the women her shelter protects will be forced out if more money doesn't come in fast. "I don't know where they're going to go," she said. "All the other shelters in town are full." "I fear we're going to have battered women out on the street or they're going to remain in a home and they're going to end up being killed," she added. Tunnell says she's probably going to have to cut her staff in half this week. That'll take A Woman's Place from 19 employees down to a skeleton crew of about six or eight. The shelter is also waiting on thousands of dollars in federal funding. No word on when that money will arrive either.
