What We Do

SAFE is DC’s only 24-hour crisis intervention agency for domestic violence victims providing face-to-face support and resources at any hour of the day or night.  Our mission is to ensure the safety and self-determination of domestic violence survivors in Washington, DC through emergency services, court advocacy and system reform.  SAFE’s first priority is the safety of the individuals and families who seek assistance.  Once they are out of harm’s way, victims can make a plan for a stable future.  SAFE is divided into two key programs: the Court Advocacy Program, and the On-Call Advocacy Program.  Our programs work with each victim on their individual needs to help them become a survivor.
