Great news for survivors of domestic violence. The Center is proud to have been a part of the fight to increase the length of stay in domestic violence shelters in New York State.
2015 was the first full year survivors could stay in shelter for up to six months, to heal from the trauma of domestic violence.
This longer stay gives survivors time to build skills they need to live independent lives and never return to abusive relationships again. We worked with the New York City Coalition of Domestic Violence Residential Providers and the New York State Coalition Against Domestic Violence to bring about this change. I am honored to be a founding co-chair of the New York City Coalition and to represent the needs of the City on the State Coalition.
I wish everyone a happy and safe new year!
Best,
Judy Kahan

Residents of Women's Survival Space partook in Glam Day and received make-overs courtesy of hair stylists and make-up artists from the “I Love Me More” organization.
Women's Safe Start honored Domestic Violence Awareness Month through the ExpressIt and Creative Movement program. Earla Lloyd, LCSW, has found that movement and creative expression are catalysts for the healing process.
