County purchases shelter for foster children - MISSISSIPPI

"Lisa Cowand saw the need for this shelter and that state regulations made it impossible for Hope Haven to do it," Latham said.
"I'm overjoyed and proud that the Board of Supervisors have bought the shelter and we look forward to working with them," Latham said.
"The board acquired this property to create a youth shelter for those with no where to go," Board Attorney Ronnie Artigues said. "They are taken out of homes by DHS and foster homes are full.
"We need to get these children out of harm's way."...

"We want everybody to buy into this shelter," Cowand said. "I want these children to look at this shelter and backyard and forget they were torn away from their parents.
Cowand said the home has five bedrooms and a large backyard. There are plans to install cribs, bunk beds and built-in furniture...."
