What is a shelter home?

One of the services the DPRC provides is rooms availible to survivors of domestic violence and their children. A shelter home is a safe place - it's a place you can go to, instead of run from. We offer beds, food, support, clothing, transportation, warmth and support. But the most important thing a shelter home offers is time. With this time, you can stop and think in safety, and figure out what you want to do without fear.

If you wish, we will advocate for you, and, when needed, can put you in touch with other agencies that can help you accomplish what you want to do. The choice is always yours. We are here to help you.

If you would prefer not to stay at the shelter, our services are offered on a drop in or appointment basis.
