Emergency Shelter is short term (3-5 day) housing to allow clients and their children the time and resources they need to address what has happened to them and how they can move forward. Our dormitory style housing allows families to stay together. They are provided with clothing, food, hygiene products, and other necessities, as needed.

Known as Transitional Housing (TH), extended stay shelter is temporary, secure housing that supports clients, and their children, as they begin their recovery from trauma and prepare to transition back into the community. In addition to safe housing, meals, and basic needs, TH provides important supportive services to help clients get back on their feet including case management, financial coaching, housing assistance, employment assistance, children’s services, life skills training, and referrals for other community assistance.

FSC provides free, confidential, evidence-based, trauma-focused counseling to residential clients and their children (if desired) during their healing process to help move beyond the violence and trauma to hope and healing.

FSC Case Management services provide survivors one on one help to identify and achieve their personal goals. These services are dependent upon the needs of the individual survivor, and may include: crisis intervention, violence assessment, safety planning, life skills, housing assistance, job skills training and employment assistance, financial literacy, legal and court advocacy, and help navigating community resources.

Our advocates can help you create an individualized plan to lower your risk of being hurt by your partner. The plan will outline ways you can remain safe while still in the relationship, planning to leave, or after you leave.

FSC recognizes that your situation is unique, and we strive to find the information and resources that you need. We work with you to understand what you are most concerned about right now and help provide access to the state and local resources available.
