Restoring Hope, one call at a time.
A compassionate network of advocates, we offer critical services to survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. What these traumatic events attempt to take away, we work to rebuild and restore. We provide services in Appanoose, Davis, Jasper, Jefferson, Mahaska, Marion, Monroe, Lucas, Keokuk, Poweshiek, Wapello, and Wayne Counties.

HOUSING SERVICES
A PLACE FOR THOSE WHO NEED IT.
Our Temporary Emergency Shelters provide immediate help to those who need it. This service is structured in a scattered-site model for fleeing survivors of crime. You’ll receive an Advocate for your case as well as information, referrals, and support in our Housing Outreach service.
Violent crimes services

We always have the power of our minds… claim and consciously use your power.”
