Over 1,000 families go through our doors annually. S.A.F.E. House provides programming aimed at healing the wounds, breaking the cycle, and improving the lives of families in our community. Learn more about S.A.F.E House's programs and services.


Our shelter is one of the largest in the nation, housing over 85 adult and child residents. We provide emergency shelter, helping to keep families fleeing domestic violence off the streets and out of danger's way.

We serve over 10,000 meals and snacks a year. Residents receive three meals per day designed by a nutritionist.

S.A.F.E. House provides residents with necessary personal care items that have
been left behind.


We provide children programs aimed at improving the parent child bond and teaching children the 3-C s

(Can t change it,can't control it,didn't cause it).


Our Families in Transition (FIT) Program helps non-abusive parents and children recover from the effects of violence.

Our support groups offer guidance in understanding and moving past the violence.

We provide family centered activities for parents and children to help them learn safe and healthy ways of being a family.

Our Pathways Program provides long term support of survivors building violence free homes.  Our primary goal is to help survivors acquire permanent housing while working on educational, employment, and financial goals.

Our Resident Advocates maintain the statewide, 24-hour crisis hotline by offering support and referring callers to additional resources.  They meet and greet new residents and assist them in settling into the shelter.

 Our resale shop receives donations of all kinds. Donations are used at the shelter, by Pathways participants, and also to assist other non-profit organizations.

Case Managers assist residents by advocating and coordinating services.  They assess the needs and program related goals for each resident, and are knowledgeable in the domestic violence legal process providing information upon request.

 Our Child Therapist provides crisis interventions and trauma reduction to children by using Sand Tray, Art Therapy, and Play Therapy. Research studies demonstrate that witnessing violence severely affects children s well-being.

Our Family Coach assists families to reestablish healthy family roles, structure and routines, as well as rebuild parent-child relationships, which are disrupted by domestic violence.
