The Women's Shelter is a safe house option for victims fleeing domestic violence relationships and those who have been sexually assaulted. Our shelter is an inviting, yet confidential and safe environment for those in need of our services. It is imperative that our shelter is able to assist women and children to become empowered and understand the importance of safety planning while in our shelter.

The shelter offers support services to women and children including support groups, case management, counseling, community referrals, and activities for children. The basic needs of food, clothing , hygiene items, linen, beds and bathing amenities are all provided free of charge. Our shelter is a 65 bed facility that operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. While the shelter may have space limitations, our team will assist individuals and families, with the appropriate community referrals. **We also extend relocation options to victims in other family violence shelters that are in need or have a desire to relocate to Corpus Christi, Texas.
