What We Do
NEW! See the Doorways’ Freddie Mac Foundation Family Home Rebuild Project in action!
Since 1978, Doorways for Women and Families (formerly TACTS) has provided a life saving continuum of care, hope and safety for thousands of women and families experiencing domestic violence and/or homelessness.
Doorways is a nonprofit, tax-exempt organization that offers safe shelter to abused, homeless and at-risk women and families. The assistance Doorways provides helps clients develop the tools and resources essential to reclaiming self-sufficiency.
Services We Provide:
- Family Shelter: A home and caring atmosphere providing basic life needs and individually-tailored support services that prepare clients to lead secure and self-sufficient lives.
- Safehouse: A home free of abuse for women and their children where goals for safety, physical and mental health needs, finances, employment, housing, childcare and long-term stability are set and achieved.
- HomeStart Supportive Housing Program: A new beginning for women and families ready to live independently with the help of rental subsidies and weekly home visits (up to two years).
- Children's Services: Programs and services specifically designed to address the needs of children who have been displaced or/and victimized.
