Safer Futures is the only shelter and resource center providing support, information, and advocacy to those affected by intimate partner violence in Portage County. We provide shelter services through a safe, confidential, supportive location for victims and children fleeing domestic violence. Over the years, our services have grown to include support groups, transitional housing, telephone support services, and outreach advocacy.
Through Safe Path, Safer Futures also offers a variety of services in conjunction with transitional housing for victims of domestic violence. The ultimate goal is to promote greater self-sufficiency, safety, and stable housing.
Safer Futures serves all genders with or without children, as well as teens, who are actively attempting to escape an abusive relationship. Advocate services are provided for all Safer Futures participants. Each individual and their children will work with an assigned advocate who will provide case management, employment support, healthy coping skills, parental support, and schooling/childcare support.
