DOMESTIC VIOLENCE PROGRAMS
Our Safe House
Our Safe House offers emergency shelter at an undisclosed location for females and children fleeing domestic violence. The emergency shelter offers a trauma-informed supportive environment focused on healing. Survivors have access to care coordination, counseling, safety planning and community resources.
All Housing services provided by YWCA of the Upper Lowlands, Inc are confidential and provided at no cost. We provide services to anyone who has domestic violence regardless of race, age, national, origin, gender identity or expression, faith, sexual orientation, disability and ethnicity.
We have relationships with local shelters for male victims and provide services for all genders.
