Transitional Housing


The Domestic Abuse & Sexual Assault Crisis Center is the only program in Warren County that offers free, confidential, culturally competent services to domestic abuse and sexual assault victims and their children. In times of crisis, we provide a safe, secure and warm setting in our shelter where individuals can escape from abuse.

Over the past 20 years, over 2,000 women and children were sheltered at our facility.

In 2005 The Agency opened The Dorothy Blake House, a transition house for those clients who are ready to move out of shelter but not quite ready for independent living. The Dorothy Blake House provides a transition from shelter living to independent living while maintaining important outreach support services. The Dorothy Blake House accommodates two family units with the length of stay being not longer than two years.

While staying at the Dorothy Blake House clients have ready access to counseling, “in community” case management, referral services and advocacy for additional community based services and the support mechanisms to make these available in practice. Clients receive such support while being active members of the community, being employed, attending school and participating in community activities, all while making a smooth transition to completely independent living.
