Mission Statement
To end the cycle of family violence, abuse and sexual assault - where home is a safe place.
The Shelter is open 24 hours a day and seven days a week for women and children that are victims of physical, mental or sexual abuse. Services include shelter, information/referral, hotline, intervention, support groups, court advocacy, service management and community education. All shelter services are provided free of charge and regardless of age, race, marital status, sexual orientation, disability, religious affiliation or income.
Individuals needing services can contact the hotline and speak with an advocate. The advocate will do an assessment and the individual will be admitted or referred for appropriate services. Individuals will meet with an advocate within 72 hours at which time safety planning will be done. In addition, a service plan will be formulated based on the needs and desires of the individual. Staff will advocate for the individual as needed.

- Emergency Shelter for women and children
