About Sarah’s Friends
Most notable has been our advocacy work for survivors of crime, most often those who experienced domestic violence. These services include financial and material support as well as emotional. We provide referrals for legal services, social services and counseling. In 2001, we started a housing program that assisted individuals and families with rental deposits and short-term rental subsidy to help our clients, most often women and children escaping a dangerous living situation. By 2010, this program grew when we started utilizing one of the apartments we own as Transitional Housing. We are now in the process of converting several more apartments to expand this frequently utilized service.
