Transform lives impacted by family violence. 

Aligned Work

Sojourner Family Peace Center provides emergency shelter and integrated 24-hour hotline/text-based support, including housing-focused advocacy and navigation activities that shorten shelter stays and increase exits to stable destinations, while also connecting survivors, at their request, to ongoing advocacy and partner-based supports that strengthen homelessness prevention, promote healing, and build independence beyond a client’s stay at Sojourner’s shelter. (Safe and Stable Homes

Sojourner Family Peace Center utilizes flexible funding to provide one-time or short-term assistance such as rent, utilities, security deposits, transportation, car repair, or other urgent needs when immediate financial stabilization can prevent eviction, support safe relocation, or secure new housing. Each disbursement is paired with individualized case management and/or advocacy, ensuring households are not only stabilized in the moment but also connected to longer-term support (e.g., benefits access, legal protections, and housing navigation) that strengthen housing retention and reduce recurrence. (Safe and Stable Homes
