The Riley Center, a program of St. Vincent de Paul, offers safe and confidential services for survivors of domestic violence. We believe that everyone has a right to live a life free from harm. We offer support to survivors through our hotline, community office, emergency shelter, transitional housing program and our specialized advocates in Family and Children Services. We believe that survivors are fully capable of making empowered choices for themselves. It is our role to support survivors in identifying and expanding their options by utilizing a feminist, peer-based model.
Join us as we strive to create safer communities for all of us!
