Every family deserves safety.

In 2025, 1,693 survivors turned to Emergency Support Shelter during some of the most difficult moments of their lives. They came seeking safety, support, advocacy, and hope.

For many, that journey began with a safe place to stay. This year, we provided 5,532 bed nights to adults and children escaping violence, abuse, and crisis. Behind every bed night is a story. A mother finding peace after months of fear. A child sleeping safely through the night. A survivor taking the first steps toward healing.

Our advocates stood beside survivors when they needed someone most. We spent 312 hours responding to hospital calls, offering comfort, support, and advocacy during moments of trauma and uncertainty. We also served 519 crime victims, helping them navigate resources, understand their rights, and move forward.

Beyond our walls, we remained committed to reaching those who may not know help is available. Through 533.25 hours of community outreach, education, and prevention efforts, we connected with individuals and families throughout our community, ensuring survivors know they are not alone.

Every number tells a story. Every statistic represents a person who found safety, support, and hope.

As we look ahead, the need continues to grow. With your support, Emergency Support Shelter can continue providing lifesaving services to survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and crime throughout our community.

Together, we are creating a future where every survivor has the opportunity to heal, rebuild, and thrive.

Your gift today helps ensure that when someone reaches out for help, we can answer the call. Join us in providing safety, support, and hope for survivors in our community.
