Domestic violence and sexual assault service provider, Options, has moved its administrative offices.
The new location, 2716 Plaza Avenue, Hays, is a building previously owned by Farm Bureau.
According to Options Board President Kenton Olliff, the building has been unoccupied since 2010 and the Farm Bureau Board agreed to reduce the building price. “With the sale of the previous Options office on East 23rd Street, the use of reserve funds, and a modest loan, Options was able to purchase the building,” says Olliff.
Executive Director Charlotte Linsner says the increased space allows Options to “provide critical services in a more sensitive and professional setting,” as well as increasing the amount of private meeting space and staff work areas. There is also a dedicated children’s room.
Options serves 18 counties in northwest Kansas with the main office in Hays and an outreach office in Colby.
