Safe Shelter
Our confidential, safe shelter offers survivors of domestic or sexual violence and their children 30 days of safe shelter, on-site advocacy, safety planning, food, clothing, clean bedding, and hygiene necessities 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Case management is available to help survivors connect with services such as subsidized housing, employment support, transportation assistance, childcare resources, and other services as appropriate. We also partner with the Kootenai Humane Society so that victims can bring pets to the shelter—which helps soothe traumatized children who must leave home quickly. We also have extended shelter available for an additional 90 days if you have difficulty finding housing after leaving a domestic violence situation. If you are a survivor of sexual or domestic violence and in imminent danger with no other housing options, please contact our crisis hotline.
