Mission Statement
Our mission is to provide life-changing resources to these waitlisted survivors and to create a sustainable recovery path to self-sufficiency for all survivors of domestic violence and abuse.
Description
WHAT IS A WAIT LIST? When a victim leaves their violent home, they are often referred to their local emergency shelter. When they arrive, they are asked to complete an intake process to determine if they are a potential candidate for shelter and supporting services. If there is no immediate space available, the survivor's information may be placed on a wait list, so they can be contacted in the case that space opens up and they and their children can come back and stay. Some shelters required survivors to call back on a DAILY basis to see if there is room available.
