Emegency Shelter Services
LeeShore's 34-bed emergency shelter offers safe housing for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. Residents of the emergency shelter are provided advocacy, support, resources, and healthy meals on a daily basis to meet their individual needs.
Pets are permitted with prior approval.
We also arrange for transportation to the shelter on an as needs basis. We also have provided emergency travel assistance to victims who wish to leave the community for safety reasons, within the bounds of local, state and federal laws.
Advocates help clients explore options and identify goals. Safety plans are encouraged and devised with walk-in, residential and crisis line clients.
Advocates also assist victims with other needs, such as finding safe, affordable housing; completing protective orders; Violent Crimes Compensation Board (VCCB) applications; accessing medical care and legal services; accessing mental health and other social services; providing transportation; obtaining emergency material needs; and providing court accompaniment.
Advocacy and emotional support are provided as victims negotiate the legal system.
LeeShore offers court-based legal advocacy. As integral members of the local Sexual Assault Response Team (SART), we provide sexual assault advocacy and support at the victim's request.
