Founded in 1977, SafeNest's unique approach sets it apart by addressing the entire continuum of violence—from prevention to protection to empowerment.

These services include a 24/7 crisis hotline, emergency shelter, transitional housing, counseling, court support, and advocacy. Each year, SafeNest directly assists over 20,000 clients, providing them with confidential and comprehensive support tailored to their needs.
Under the leadership of Chief Executive Officer Liz Ortenburger and with the dedication of 82 full and part-time staff members, SafeNest continues to innovate and expand its impact in the fight against domestic and sexual violence. The organization remains committed to its mission of ending violence through prevention, intervention, and empowerment.
