Overview

Mission

Advocates for victims of assault, inc. Provides services which enhance safety and justice for victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and trauma while promoting peace in our community.

What it reported doing in 2024

Emergency location: we provide emergency safe-housing for women and children at our shelter, and to men in hotels. We also provide 24 hour in- person crisis response in english and spanish. Our services are used by law enforcement, the local medical centers, the coroner and by individuals in the community through our crisis hot line number. We respond to domestic violence - either in person on scene or as a "hotline" for people experiencing abuse or distress due to unhealthy dynamics in their relationship; and to sexual assault - either in person on scene after a report to police or at the hospital, or as a "hotline" for people that have been sexually abused either recently or in the past.

The verdict
