SafeHome Program

Provide a SafeHome for Families in Crisis -
Housing is a major step in stabilization. Victims face the same barriers such as rising housing costs and low availability of long-term housing, but their violent situations put them at a great need to find stable housing and safety as soon as possible.

Rise is looking for owners to house individuals or families for an interim of 1-3 months. If you have a mother-in-law suite, basement studio, garage apartment or short-term rentals, please reach out for more information on changing an individual or family's future! www.gotrwesterncolorado.org

Find out more about the
SafeHome Program and how you can get involved in changing the future
for victims and their families.

The Impact of Providing a SafeHome for Transitional Housing:

Jane was in an abusive marriage for years. She always wanted to leave her situation; but did not have the means to do so. Her husband had never allowed her to have a job and controlled every part of their finances. As a result, Jane had no rental history and no credit score. We were able to place her in transitional housing and then work with her to get a job, get an apartment of her own and start saving money. Jane also had two children who were traumatized by their home situation. Jane and both her kids were able to receive counseling services and are doing much better. At the beginning of this process Jane very much wanted to leave Pagosa. She is now empowered by her situation and deeply connected to her community. Her kids are happy and involved in the local sports and community organizations. Jane is deeply thankful to the resources available to her which helped her overcome her abusive relationship. Jane has been self-supporting for the last year and half and is now looking to purchase her own home in Pagosa Springs.
