Freedom and safety have a price tag.

Anna explains her plight: “We had nowhere to go. We had to flee and it was hard. I left behind our home and all my resources and support. I had no control over my own money.” Anna is a perfect example of so many Catalyst participants. Fleeing an abusive and controlling relationship, Anna came to us with no resources, support system or safe place to live. Pregnant with her third child, her abuser had taken their older two children and hid them from her.

Our confidential housing programs provide clients like Anna and her baby daughter Grace an environment free from abuse and violence through the simple act of shelter and safety.

Whether in our HAVEN (Home Away from a Violent Environment) program or our longer term “Cottage” transitional housing program, our staff offers a safe place to express fears, to build skills, and to find support and freedom to create a plan for the future.

You can help STOP the cycle of violence.

Last year Catalyst was unable to satisfy the emergency housing needs of 50 individuals and families.

Your partnership during difficult times of shrinking public dollars is crucial for domestic violence programs and the survivors we serve. Needs are increasing for folks like Anna and her kids. You can play a role in supporting much needed shelter, safety, self-sufficiency and freedom.

In celebration of our 35th year, we are raising $35,000 to fund support staff for our Cottage program to equip participants like Anna to become self-sufficient and finally free!
