Center Against Domestic Violence - Brooklyn, NY

Description: Domestic Violence Victims Only Emergency Shelter

Three Safe Havens
Women’s Survival Space
Women’s Safe Start
Women’s Second Start
Our shelters provide lifesaving emergency housing for women and children who are fleeing abusive homes. Each family stays in their own apartment complete with full kitchen and bath, giving them the privacy they need to feel safe in a new environment. Our staff provides 24-hour assistance and security and supplies all basic living essentials, including linens, food, pots and pans and much more.

At each of our shelters, we provide families with more than just housing. Before they leave, we aim to equip all residents with the tools they need to start a new life, including:
    permanent housing
    the ability to plan for their safety
    the ability to access what help and services they will need in their new communities
    the skills to identify and avoid abusive relationships in the future
    an understanding of how living with abuse changed their lives
