Mission Statement
Samaritan House was incorporated in 1984 and opened its first shelter in 1985 for homeless families. Within five years, Samaritan House expanded services to respond to homelessness resulting from domestic violence, beginning the mission of domestic violence crisis intervention and prevention. Samaritan House now hosts a 24-hour crisis hotline and provides emergency shelter, transitional housing, low cost affordable housing and supportive services.Samaritan House is dedicated to identifying and eliminating the root causes of homelessness and domestic violence wherever possible through education, advocacy, community outreach and intervention. Our Prevention & Education programs present workshops and trainings to middle school, high school and college students; the medical community; law enforcement, the faith-based community, civic organizations, the military, and the general public.We host awareness campaigns throughout the year and participate in legal advocacy efforts on issues related to domestic violence.
About This Cause
Samaritan House is committed to fostering personal safety, growth and self-sufficiency in adults and their children through the freedom from sexual and domestic violence and homelessness. Since 1984, Samaritan House has provided emergency housing, transitional housing, and community outreach to victims of domestic violence and homeless families. We own and operate eight safe houses for emergency shelter for families fleeing domestic violence and homelessness, provide trauma informed services for domestic violence victims and their children in transitional housing and own 37 units of low income permanent housing. In our emergency and transitional programs we shelter about 110 people per night as well as providing affordable housing at fair market value. Our children’s program works with our youth (approximately 65% of the people we serve) to establish healthy relationships, build self-confidence, increase academic performance, and ultimately break the cycles of violence and homelessness.
