Emergency Shelter

If you’re a victim of abuse and violence, it might seem like you’ll never feel safe again. And you probably think that finding a safe place to stay is an impossible dream. But here’s some good news: there is a safe haven. We welcome adults and children at our emergency shelters in the Saint John Valley, Caribou, and Houlton. At each shelter, we offer emotional support, information, and advocacy – and help you stay safe as you consider how to handle your situation and think through what’s going on in your life. We’ll help you find the community services you need to stay safe and to work toward self-sufficiency if that’s an issue.

Transitional Housing and Services

If you’re working to stay safe and free from relationships that involve violence, you might want to consider living in our transitional housing. We welcome survivors of domestic abuse for up to two years. It’s safe, affordable, and includes the kind of supportive services that will help you succeed.
