Target demographics: SAFE serves women, men and teens in the DC Metro Area. We work with any victim of domestic violence seeking our services entirely free of charge, but our clients are primarily single mothers living at or below the poverty line. Over sixty percent of the families we serve live East of the Anacostia River in DC, and 95% are women.

Direct beneficiaries per year: In 2010, SAFE helped 5,479 victims of domestic violence reach immediate safety and begin to rebuild their lives.

Someone who had 3 hours of volunteer time could: Provide support, legal information, food and shelter access to a victim of domestic violence in the Emergency Room of a DC hospital.

Geographic areas served: DC Metro Area

Results:

We worked hard this year to provide 24-hour in-person services to victims of domestic violence through our Response Line, and provided immediate crisis shelter to 320 families within an hour of a violent incident.
