Emergency Shelter

A woman may find herself leaving an unsafe home suddenly to protect herself and her children. Often, she has very little time to prepare and may have to leave with just the clothes on her back. The Genesis Emergency Shelter offers a non-disclosed, safe place to stay during this difficult time. With staff available 24/7, the emergency shelter has everything she may need, such as essential items (toiletries, clothing, etc.), warm meals and private living spaces, allowing her and her children to feel comfortable and secure for up to eight weeks as they rest and heal.

To receive support, call or text the 24-hour helpline, 214.946.HELP (4357)
