International Womens House Inc

The International Women’s House provides a safe haven and supportive services to victims of domestic violence, sexual abuse, and human trafficking.  We serve primarily cultural-specific populations who have been victimized by adult physical assault, domestic and/or family violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking. Our services include: in-person crisis counseling, shelter/safe house, follow-up for up to one year, information and referrals to appropriate community resources, criminal justice support, advocacy, and court accompaniment, emergency legal advocacy, emergency financial aid, assistance in completing compensation applications, gathering documents for and submitting applications to TANF, social services, and immigration officers, on-site placement of animals in distress, weekly support groups and children's programming. All services conducted with an emphasis on cultural sensitivity including respect for a survivor's dietary restrictions, traditions, and background. We aim to provide services, awareness, and education to domestic violence victims with the intent to create independence, self-sufficiency, and a life free of abuse.
