Domestic Violence

Safe Places Transitional HousingThe Safe Places Residential Program was created to provide an alternative for families in Fairfax County, Virginia with the dilemma of either staying in an abusive situation or living on the streets. Safe Places assistance extends beyond the crisis period, providing up to two years of transitional housing with six months follow-up to homeless women and their children fleeing domestic violence. Our plan is to provide opportunities for motivated residents to obtain the necessary skills, income, resources and services which will enable them to achieve the highest levels of self-sufficiency possible and find permanent housing within 24 months.

Case management and support services facilitate residential stability, increased skills and/or income and greater self-determination. The Safe Places case managers work directly with the families providing case management, service linkage and referral, and court advocacy. Comprehensive case management and intensive support assists families with skill building, coping as single parents, safety assurance, childcare, employment training/ placement and housing placement. Legal advocacy includes support to address court issues of protection, child support, custody and visitation.
