HOW TO
HELP
Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault are crimes that affect everyone in our community. You can be part of the solution! Stay informed, stay vigilant, make a difference.
CLIENT RELOCATION & DIRECT SERVICE NEEDS
HAVIN receives approximately $7,000 from the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Domestic Violence to pay for a survivor’s first month’s rent and/or security deposit, utilities, transportation to a safe place as well as household items. Last year we helped a total of 21 survivors with relocation expenses, but their needs far exceeded our income. Please consider a monetary donation to assist with this need.
