SAFE HARBOR

Empowering Survivors with a Fresh Start


On average, it takes a person 7 attempts to leave an abusive relationship for good. A contributing factor is a lack of resources. Survivors are often financially dependent on their abusive partner or have previously been denied opportunities to work, a place to sleep on their own, language assistance, or a network to turn to during moments of crisis. These factors can make it seem impossible for someone to leave an abusive situation.

There is help.

The Safe Harbor Program provides essential funds to prevent privation by offering a combination of grants and interest-free loans as needed for shelter, food, transportation, and childcare costs while enrolling in the Transitional Compensation program.
