About Safe Passage

Safe Passage is a 501(c)(3) organization, that provides 24-hour emergency shelter, 24-hour crisis line, advocacy, counseling, and other supportive services to victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and child abuse in York, Chester, Lancaster, and Union counties.  All of our services are free and provided without regard to income, age, sex, race, ethnicity, limited English proficiency, and disability. 

Emergency Shelter:

Our emergency shelter provides victims and their vulnerable family members with a safe, clean, comfortable place to recover from the physical and emotional wounds of domestic violence.  The shelter is a six-bedroom, seven-bath one-story home utilized as a temporary residence for victims of domestic violence and their children.  Up to twenty-four adults and children can be accommodated comfortably, but additional space is available in emergencies. While in the shelter, victims receive transportation to necessary appointments, USDA-approved meals and snacks, clothing, toiletries, crisis counseling, parenting classes, life skills training, and social activities.

Crisis Line:

We maintain a 24-hour crisis line and accompany victims of sexual assault during their medical exams in order to provide advocacy and support during the aftermath of the assault.  We provide counseling services and court accompaniment for victims.
