Find Peace In The Midst Of Chaos.

We offer a safe home where women leaving an abusive relationship can gain independence through active help and support.

Have Your Support Worker Request an Application:

✓ Secure Shelter

✓ Supportive Relationships

✓ Next Step Resources

Once you’ve found the courage to leave an abusive relationship, it’s time to focus on your healing.

Only when you feel secure and stable can you begin to recover and turn toward a healthy, independent future. As a second-stage shelter, we provide care for women (and their children) who are:

• Ready to progress from a first-stage emergency shelter
• Preparing to create a new path of independent living for themselves
• Seeking safe, secure housing and practical support as they move forward
• Not currently struggling with substance use or recent recovery

Find comfort in a home environment where you can prioritize your own well-being and prepare for what’s next.
