WPTF Afternoon News by WPTF FM 92.9 AM 680

Episode notes

The cost of rent in Wake County is up more than 50 percent in the last five years, and when the cost of living goes up, it can add another barrier for people who are trying to leave a domestic violence situation. When we talk about domestic violence, we rarely talk about the financial abuse component of the problem. But InterAct's Sheryl Cromedy says it's present in almost every domestic violence situation, often as a means of control. Sheryl Cromedy joined Jeff Hamlin on the WPTF Afternoon News to discuss the purpose of InterAct.
