Domestic violence is a leading cause of homelessness for women. Escaping an abusive relationship is only the first step; creating a long-term, sustainable, and affordable housing plan remains a significant barrier for survivors today.
Leaving an abusive relationship comes with substantial financial challenges - often costing thousands of dollars. Without access to safe, long-term housing, survivors are far more likely to return to dangerous situations. Financial strain is one of the main reasons victims return to their abuser.
The Safe Nights Fund: A Lifeline for Survivors
The Safe Nights Fund provides flexible financial assistance tailored to the immediate needs of survivors and their children. This support encompasses a wide range of essential services, including:
Rental Security Deposits: Assisting survivors in securing stable housing by covering upfront rental costs.
Furniture and Household Essentials: Providing items such as couches and beds to help survivors establish comfortable and functional living spaces.
Safety Measures: Implementing security enhancements like video surveillance systems to ensure a secure environment.
Utility Setup: Covering costs associated with establishing utilities, ensuring homes are livable and safe.
By addressing these critical needs, the Safe Nights Fund empowers survivors to rebuild their lives with dignity and security. Your support ensures that no one has to choose between homelessness and enduring abuse.
We invite you to join us in providing the gift of safety. Your donation to the Safe Nights Fund directly impacts the lives of survivors and their children, offering them a chance to escape violence and build a brighter future.
