Emergency Shelter

  If you are in immediate danger, Call 911. 

When home is no longer safe, our emergency shelter offers a confidential and secure refuge for survivors of domestic violence and their children. We understand that finding safety is the first crucial step, and our shelter provides a free, safe, and confidential environment where you can begin to heal and plan your next steps without pressure.

We recognize the courage it takes to seek help, and our shelter operates with a deep understanding of domestic violence and trauma. Our trauma-informed approach means we prioritize your emotional and physical well-being, offering a supportive and non-judgmental space for you and your children to rest, regain strength, and feel secure.

While staying with us, you'll have access to compassionate advocates who can help you explore resources, understand your options, and develop a personalized plan for a future free from violence. This is a place where you can take a breath, process your experiences, and begin to envision a new path forward, all within a supportive community dedicated to your safety and empowerment.
