I will be forever grateful to A Safe Place for the counseling, therapy, and guidance provided to me and my children after being a victim of domestic violence.

Did not have a good experience. I reached out at the lowest point of my life trying to get away from an abusive partner with two young children. I was in communication with Javier which was done in a timely manner. My problem is the realtor company that they refer to you. I had to do an interview with Heather from Safe place for the housing. After I got approved, my information got sent to the realtor company where I paid the application fee and gave all personal information regarding myself and children. I did all this waiting around and reaching out for NOTHING! Wasted my time and money I do not have just to be lead on. I recently sent out an email requesting to talk to Safe Place manager or supervisor because this is not right. And when I sent Javier and Jake (the realtor) emails back to back requesting follow ups regarding my application, Jake NEVER responded or got back to me. Only time he responded back to my email was when I sent one 3 months later (recently) to withdraw my application. That’s when Jake was quick to respond to THAT email. I am upset because I have put my trust in A Safe Place at the most vulnerable and life threatening situation and they completely ignored my safety and needs. It would of been nice to get one email or phone call informing me that I need to look somewhere else because 3 months have passed and I am stuck in the same place I was with nothing different. -Natasha M

If YOU truly need help getting away from your abuser this place help YOU do that. If YOU need counseling, this place will direct YOU as to how to get it. If YOU need housing they also get you in touch with help so that YOU can. Here's the KEY... they are there for us. They guide or direct us but WE have to do the footwork. When you utilize their direction you will succeed. I thank them for helping me get away from my abuser. They saved my life! I got a job, an apartment and a few months later I got a car. I'm now independent and feel free. I took every bit of their advice, guidance and am so grateful. You can do it to. But you can't sit their and expect things to fall on your lap. You've got to do the footwork. If someone steals your food in there, maybe they were hungry. Pray for them and keep it movin. Remember your beautiful and wonderfully made. And you don't need someone abusing you. You can do it. I'm sure of it.
