Safe Horizon is the nation's largest provider of domestic violence residences, offering more than 400 beds throughout New York City's five p/ Horizon operates both emergency shelters for crisis situations and transitional housing where women move after several months to plan for a future free from violence. The goal of our shelters is to provide a safe space where a woman can plan for a future free from violence. Our shelters offer comprehensive services including counseling, housing assistance, life skills and parenting courses, childcare, and medical aid. One of the most common reasons an abused woman stays in a relationship is because she is economically dependent on the abuser. Safe Horizon's Job Readiness Program provides practical assistance to help women in our shelters find employment. Job Readiness Program components include computer training, high school equivalency classes, and workshops covering such topics as resume development, career planning, time management, interviewing, and conflict resolution. Job readiness skills can help to enable our clients to leave abusive environments, lead independent lives and support their families. If you are a victim of domestic violence and are in need of shelter, please call our hotline. Take a Tour of a Domestic Violence Shelter.
