WomenSafe, Inc. The Green House

About this facility

WomenSafe has supported survivors of domestic violence across Northeast Ohio since 1980. As a nonprofit resource center and emergency shelter, its mission is to provide safety, support, and advocacy for individuals and families fleeing abuse. Through community education and outreach, the center also raises awareness and works to prevent further violence. Survivors receive free and confidential services including emergency shelter, court advocacy, and trauma-informed counseling for adults and children. The facility also offers art and play therapy, peer-led support groups, employment and housing advocacy, and a specialized Empowered Parenting program. Each service helps survivors process trauma and rebuild their lives with dignity and safety. The center brings together shelter, staff, and outreach in one secure space. Survivors have access to household essentials, donated furniture, and relocation support. Aftercare includes continued contact, resource connection, and basic needs assistance. Programs like community education and peer groups strengthen long-term recovery and create lasting impact beyond shelter walls.
