The clients we serve are from traditionally “underserved”
populations – i.e., at-risk and/or adjudicated teen aged
girls, rural women who are victims of domestic violence,
and women of color who are victims of domestic violence,
and families and youth involved in domestic violence.
Typically the women need domestic violence services that
includes, safety planning, protection orders, housing or
landlord/tenant assistance, court accompaniment, or legal
representation in court advocacy and supportive services
to three women with children per night. Residents may
stay 3-5 nights. Trained legal and community advocates
provide individualized advocacy, support and guidance in
navigating the legal/court system.
