    The Shelter

    Catholic Charities provides survivors and their children with access to a state-of-the-art Domestic Violence Shelter designed to help you establish a safe, violence-free future. While you work to overcome the painful violence you’ve endured, our shelter offers a temporary safe, and confidential place to stay.

    Our Shelter is tailored to meet the needs of adults and children, providing family-style living, a large kitchen to cook meals, living spaces, a playroom, and special spaces to work and play.

    Advocates are available to survivors, their friends and family, service providers, and the general community.

  • Survivor Support

    Survivor Support

    Once you’re safely sheltered, advocates will help you determine your next steps. We walk with you as you create a plan to move forward safely. Your plan will address practical concerns, as well as emotional barriers. Based on your plan, we’ll provide you with resources and referrals to appropriate community support and programs to match your needs.

  • After Shelter Support

    After Shelter Support

    After a survivor completes our program, our Community Reintegration Services provide resources and referrals for economic empowerment such as employment and housing needs.

    Well beyond a shelter stay, we support survivors to live safely in pursuing their dreams without fear.
