"A fire has caused several women and children at an Ozaukee County shelter to find other temporary housing.Barb Fischer, executive director for Advocates of Ozaukee, said a fire on the second floor of their building has displaced several families seeking a safe place to stay.Staff members were able to get the residents out of the building. The fire worked its way through walls and into the sleeping quarters of the facility.\"We had 12 residents, we can take 16,\" Fischer said. \"It's hard to relocate them.\"Tuesday's fire also came 24 hours after water began leaking into the facility's basement.Staff members have found temporary housing, but hope to move the families to a little more permanent situation soon.As a shelter for victims of sensitive matters, Advocates has stood quietly in Saukville for 35 years. Fischer said the work goes on despite the fire.\"We continue to answer the phone,\" she said. \"We continue to do all the counseling that we do on a regular basis.\"Fischer said the staff had been wanting new bathroom facilities for the residents, and the repair work from the fire might provide a silver lining to what she said has been a stressful week.Advocates of Ozaukee is one of several groups featured in Thursday's Match Day, an effort that will help raise funds for 21 nonprofits across southeast Wisconsin.\u00A0 To learn more about Match Day, click here."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
