housing program

The History of our Housing Program 
SafePlace began work on creating a Housing Program in 2017 when it was seen that clients were re-entering into homelessness or shelters due to the lack of ability to gain safe housing after leaving shelter. 
The agency soon recognized a gap in client assistance, and a separate program with staff dedicated to meet this deficit in support for our clients was quickly established.
Since the official start of the SafePlace Housing Program in 2018, the department has undergone much positive progression as our clients' needs evolve and grow. 
Intersection of Housing and Domestic Violence: why are we here?
The importance and necessity of SafePlace's Housing Program can be illustrated in these poignant statistics:
  • Studies show that 57% of all homeless women report domestic violence as the immediate cause of their homelessness.
  • One in four US women has experienced violence by a partner at some point in her life
  • 38% of all domestic violence victims become homeless at some point in their lives.
  • 56% of unmet requests from domestic violence programs were for housing.
​Services:
SafePlace does not currently own property, or housing units to place survivors into. Our services are based on Case Management/Advocacy in order to work alongside survivors in their journey to gain sustainable, independent housing.
​
The Housing Program is also working in the Housing Authority of Thurston County to provide education and support to those working with survivors of Domestic Violence.

SafePlace is able to provide wrap around supportive services to our Housing Client’s by connecting them with other SafePlace Programs to provide services for client needs such as legal advocacy, support groups, and youth advocacy.
