Domestic & Sexual Violence Services
The safe future you deserve
Without safety, it is difficult to achieve stability and plan for the future.
That is why we opened our Lewis House domestic and sexual violence shelter in 1979. Since then, we have expanded our violence prevention and intervention services to include sexual assault services, outreach support, and community education.
At Lewis House, we interrupt violence with safe shelter and a caring staff who listen, believe, and support survivors along their journey to a safe future.
- We provide stabilizing resources for individuals experiencing violence.
- We support those sheltering at Lewis House as well as those who don’t need shelter.
- We help people navigate the justice, healthcare, housing, and other systems they may encounter.
- We educate community members about domestic and sexual violence at public events and in schools.
You are the driver of your story and you will define what a healthy, safe future looks like for you and your family.
If you need support, call the Lewis House today, 24/7, at (651) 452-7288 and our staff will help.
All services are free and confidential.
