About this resource
This program assists individuals fleeing domestic violence by providing crisis intervention services such as emergency shelter, a crisis hotline, advocacy, therapeutic programs for children, and support groups. It also includes self-sufficiency initiatives like transitional housing, advocacy, information and referral services, and life skills training. Community education and resources are available as well. The program typically lasts for 60 days, with the possibility of extending to 90 days.
