Emergency Safe House

Safe Housing

Valley Crisis Center operates two confidential safe houses. One for victims/survivors of intimate partner violence and sexual assault (IPV/SA). The other for victims/survivors of human trafficking (HT).
 
If you are a survivor with children, our safe houses allow the children of survivors as well. We understand it is important to protect not only yourself, but your children too.
