About Us

We strive to help sexual assault survivors of all genders. Our mission is to ensure safety and support for survivors. Our approach is unique; we have a network of volunteers who are also survivors. These volunteers offer temporary housing accommodations to provide a secure and nurturing environment for those who have experienced any form of sexual assault.

Become a volunteer

Volunteers help survivors by temporarily hosting those who need to leave their homes. If you are interested in hosting someone at your home, please fill out the application at this link. Once you and/or your family apply online, a professional member of the organization will do a screening of the applicant. If they find a match, they will reach out to you to set up a meeting where they will set expectations and finalize other logistics.
