Safe Choice Transition House Program
The Safe Choice Program is a second stage transition home and provides supportive temporary housing to facilitate security, independence, and personal growth for women and children who have experienced violence. Independent living suits are available for women (and their children) seeking safety from family violence.
The stay at Safe Choice is for up to 12 months while the women develop and follow through on a plan for their long-term independent living, free of family violence. Some of the services we provide are crisis intervention, ongoing support, safety planning, parenting support, life skills training, referrals to other resources and advocacy.
Goals of the Program:
- To provide safe and affordable short-term housing with support services
- To help participants maintain personal health and safety
- To help participants learn practical life skills
- After residential support has ended to continue to provide service to these families as need to resolve crises as they integrate into the community and live independently.
