Friendship Home exists to support,
shelter, and advocate for women who are victims of domestic
violence and their children.
Friendship Home seeks to:
• Provide a continuum of safe, confidential shelter
options, from emergency shelter through transitional shelter.
• Provide a rich array of crisis intervention services,
case management, and emotional support to women and children
in shelter, as well as those who are waiting for shelter,
helping them to rebuild their lives, free from fear.
• Address the many complexities and barriers associated
with domestic violence on an individual level, as well as
a community systems level, responding to the unique needs
of the women and children we serve and improving our community's
response to violence against women.
• Continue to reach out to survivors through individual
advocacy, emergency case management, and support groups
after they leave shelter, offering an environment where
a woman feels welcome and is encouraged to share her story
and her wisdom with others.
