Domestic Violence Survivor Services
Domestic Violence Victim Assistance in Greater Phoenix
Shelter Without Walls
Our domestic violence program addresses the unmet needs of Maricopa County
survivors of domestic violence and their children, who are residing outside
of a shelter setting, and are struggling to attain and/or maintain safety
and independence, whether or not still living with their abuser. SWW targets
survivors of domestic violence identified as “falling through the
cracks”: those not yet separated from the abusive partner but wanting
to live independently and needing assistance to do so safely, survivors
transitioning out of local shelters after a 30 to 120-day stay; and survivors
living independently from their abusive partners but who are disconnected
from services and struggling to remain independent.
