Together we can save lives, build hope, and end violence.

Give Safety, Give Hope

This year, SafeHouse launches our Give Safety, Give Hope end-of-year campaign with a single, powerful goal: to ensure that every survivor who turns to us continues to find safety, stability, and compassion—no matter what is happening with federal funding. Throughout 2025, unpredictable freezes, delays, and reduction in federal support have created significant challenges for agencies like ours. But while the funding has stalled, the crises have not. Survivors are still arriving daily—mothers with their children, families fleeing in the middle of the night, individuals seeking safety and a chance to rebuild their lives.

About us

Message from Executive Director

Imagine living in constant fear. Not just fear of being physically abused—but of being watched, threatened, silenced, or violated in the place where you should feel safest. Imagine carrying the weight of shame for something that was never your fault. Imagine being told every day that you’re nothing. That you don’t matter. That no one will believe you, and no one will help.

This is the reality for survivors of domestic and sexual violence.

It happens more often than most people want to believe. One in three women. One in four men. One in five children. These are not just numbers—they are our neighbors, coworkers, friends, and loved ones. They are people living with the trauma of physical assault, emotional abuse, sexual violence, stalking, and coercive control.
