Women's Shelters

Last year, over 350 individuals in their communities were able to find safety from sexual assault and intimate partner violence through The Haven.































































Their 24-hour hotline and advocacy staff help callers develop plans to keep themselves and their children as safe as possible from abuse.































































The most dangerous time for those who are in an abusive relationship is when they are trying to leave.































































Their services help to increase the safety for these individuals.































































Once safe, they can provide the necessary support to heal and find long-term solutions.
