Our solutions are not one-size-fits-all. Each woman has her own story.
Survivor Support Services
We have a plethora of services aimed at helping our survivors move forward into their new lives. We not only provide services to those who reside at our shelter or at Bliss Manor, but we also support those in our community. We support everyone with licensed therapists who work to help our clients on their path to emotional recovery, as well as case managers who help with our clients’ specific needs. We also provide court advocacy, hospital advocacy and short-term rental assistance.

Emergency ShelterIn our shelter we strive to provide a wide range of supportive services via the Children’s Program, Case Managers for our residents, Life Skills Groups and a 24-hour staffed office to meet our residential needs, and many other services with the main goal of residents moving back into the community at-large. -
Bliss Manor ProgramsAt Bliss Manor, we have two separate programs. One is Transitional Housing, and tenants typically stay for 6-12 months. The second is Permanent Supportive Housing for survivors who also have a disability, and there is no time limit. All tenants have on-site case managers to help navigate a variety of obstacles to permanent housing, better living standards, sobriety and employment – all based on individuals’ needs. -
