Children’s Village To Reopen House

W hen no one else can answer the call, the Children’s Village in Coeur d’Alene opens its arms to the community’s most vulnerable children. Over the past two and a half decades, two residential houses on a quiet cul-de-sac on the northern edge of the Lake City have welcomed more than 2,000 abused, neglected, homeless or crisis-affected children. Right now, the 31-year-old nonprofit is in the midst of preparations to reopen one of those two facilities, the Miller House, which was forced to close its doors in 2010 when it lost most of its state funding. Development Director Christina Hull says the community banded together to help raise $650,000 to reopen the Miller House early next year and keep it operating for at least the next two years/ Chey Scott , Inlander.
