  • Shelter stay is up to 30 days, which is evaluated on a case by case basis.
  • Advocacy for court hearings, protection orders, with police and other social service agencies is available on an as-needed basis.
  • Case management is provided, including exploration of housing, financial, employment, and child care options.
  • Children of victims receive age appropriate counseling and activities; play areas and toys are available on site.
  • The shelter is located in a confidential location.
