What is a Domestic Violence Shelter?

Domestic violence shelters are safe places where domestic violence and abuse victims can get help and temporary housing. Because many domestic violence victims are threatened with  homelessness, shelters for domestic abuse victims are critical.

How does a Domestic Violence Shelter Help Victims?

Domestic violence shelters provide victims of abuse and their children/families with immediate protection from danger and safe, emergency shelter and longer term transitional housing. This gives victims of abuse time to recover and rebuild their lives. Domestic violence shelters also offer a variety of services and referrals that include:

  • Counseling
  • Housing assistance
  • Employment assistance
