Emergency Shelter
When you need safety right now, we offer immediate emergency shelter for women and children escaping domestic violence. Our location in Columbia, SC is confidential and secure, with safety procedures shaped by survivor experience so you can rest without looking over your shoulder.
From the moment you arrive, we focus on your most urgent needs: a locked, safe place to sleep, hot meals, clothing, toiletries, and a quiet space for your children to calm down. We keep families together whenever possible, so you do not have to choose between your safety and your children.
While you are with us, we help you think through next steps at a pace that feels manageable - whether that means legal protection, medical care, counseling, or longer-term housing.
