ACCESS

Addressing the roots and impact of domestic and sexual violence through services that enhance safety, empowering survivors, and promoting understanding and social justice within our community.

​

SHELTER PROGRAM Our shelter is designed to alleviate the immediate housing needs associated with fleeing domestic violence, sexual assault, or other forms of violence. Shelter residents are offered assistance in seeking immediate and long-term safety, processing the abuse, and case management centered around finding the next best stable housing option.

​

RAPID REHOUSING PROGRAM helps homeless individuals get into housing as immediately as possible with financial support, help with the application process, support in identifying community resources, and care coordination. The most vulnerable victims, such as youth and families, are targeted for this intensive service.

​

TRANSITIONAL HOUSING PROGRAM is a 6-24 month program that allows participating individuals to create a stable economic foundation and enables clients to secure permanent housing upon exit from the program. Transitional housing is available to all domestic violence and sexual assault survivors.
