Various Emergency Domestic Violence Shelters
Domestic Violence Shelters are places where women, and in most cases your children, can go if you decide to leave and get away from the person who is hurting them. It is a safe harbor. The addresses of the shelters are kept secret so that the person who is hurting you cannot find you. In the shelters is a safe place to stay, food, and often counseling, to help mothers and their children. Many shelters also have support groups and counseling services. However, the purpose of the shelters is to help prevent domestic violence. The shelters are not meant to stop access or visitation to a child unless harm may result to the child or the acts of domestic violence involving the child. The telephone numbers to the shelters in the Valley area include:

Once with a Service Priority Specialist, they will be asked a series of questions to identify if there is a need to go further in the process or if they would be able to navigate their way out of the homeless situation without entering a shelter. If they are not able to do so then a VI-SPDAT will be completed with them. This is a vulnerability assessment tool to aid in identifying the families and how much, if any, intervention beyond shelter would aid in helping them end their homelessness altogether. Once this process is complete the family would be placed on a waitlist to enter the shelter once there is availability. **Interventions may include Permanent Supportive Housing, Transitional Housing, Rapid Re-Housing, or just Emergency Shelter. **You have to physically go in for this process.

SWW targets survivors of domestic violence identified as “falling through the cracks”: those not yet separated, but desire to live independently from their abusive partners and need assistance to do so safely; survivors transitioning out of local shelters after a 30 to 120-day stay; and survivors living independently from their abusive partners but who are disconnected from services and struggling to remain independent.
- Safety Planning - A step by step individualized plan to reach safety and independence
- Resources - Shelter referrals if needed, Housing locators, Legal lay advocacy services, Crime victim information, and referrals
- Support - Domestic Violence Education, Resources and referrals, Group and individual counseling, a Mentorship program
- Case Management - We work closely for more than a year (or as long as it takes) with participants to ensure their safety and ability to provide for themselves and their children while maintaining their independence and self-respect. The goal of staff and supporters is that women and children get safe and stay safe.
- All cases are handled in the strictest confidence.
