Shelter staff are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
Respectful, individualized care is offered, including advocacy, therapy, safety planning, finding a home, and connecting with community resources for health, legal, and financial needs.
At Rose Brooks Center we understand that ‘feeling’ safe and ‘being’ safe are two entirely different things – and we address both with victims and survivors of domestic violence who require shelter.
For those in emergency shelter, physical safety is the first layer, followed by wrapping them in the care needed to move forward, including addressing trauma for themselves and their children, providing education about their past relationships, and establishing connections in the community that support their physical and emotional safety.
One domestic violence survivor said it like this, “As you settle in [at Rose Brooks], you begin to breathe. You feel grateful that the stress and the fear is gone, especially for your kids. You realize you’ve learned so much since the day you arrived and being here has been much more than just a roof over your head – it’s been a place that has taught you how to stop the cycle of violence for yourself and your children. You’ve reclaimed your future, and have the quality of life you all deserve.”

Rose Brooks Center is about saving lives. Each year, Rose Brooks Center reaches over 14,000 individuals and pets. While hundreds of individuals find safety in emergency shelter, thousands more are served outside of shelter each year. We accomplish this through groundbreaking programs and services, built over the past 40 years.
