Survivors
Operated by the Salvation Army, The West Womens’ and Childrens’ Shelter has served domestic violence and sexual assault survivors at a secure site for more than 30 years. It has a maximum capacity of 60 participants, including children.
Please join Executive Director Justin Moshkowski to learn more about how The West provides a safe place for survivors where they can start over. Based on a model of trauma-informed care, these services focus on obtaining safe and stable housing, self-sufficiency, and personal stability.
To achieve these goals, The West offers:
-
Wrap-around social services designed to help survivors escape, including case management, employment assistance, and housing program resources
-
Clothes for adults and children
-
Screening to assure culturally specific services
Justin will be answering your questions after his presentation.
