Domestic Violence Program
SAFE HOME PROGRAM
Emergency short-term housing is often available locally for domestic violence
victims and
their children. Individuals and families throughout our service area of Morrison
and
Todd Counties
have made
their homes available for up to one week in situations where this might be a
better location than a traditional battered woman's shelter. If appropriate
to the woman's situation
and if space is available, these arrangements are made through our crisis line.
To ensure safety, confidentiality and the continuation of this program, more
limitations regarding the battered woman
coming and going from the safe house are usually necessary. Potential providers
are screened and trained on the basic dynamics of safety and of battering relationships
before being accepted
into the program.
