You may know someone who has been affected by domestic violence. We are a local resource ready to step in and help those who need it. Our doors are always open.

The intersection of domestic violence, homelessness, and housing insecurity is undeniable. Domestic violence survivors often report that a lack of safe, affordable housing is one of the primary barriers they face if they choose to leave an abuser.

Tragically, more than 90% of homeless women experience severe physical or sexual abuse at some point in their lives, and 63% have been victims of intimate partner violence.
