ASafeHarborHome, Inc. is a 501(c) 3 organization which provides Permanent Supportive Housing for victims of domestic violence, homeless with a disability and their children in the eight upper Northeast Tennessee counties. Our office is located at 818 W. Summer Street in Greeneville, Tennessee. It was not until ASafeHarborHome, Inc. was created that victims of domestic violence who wanted to free themselves and their children from being abused had much hope and in most cases, could not fully recover from their victimization. Although, Emergency Domestic Violence Shelters have been available in the areas which we serve, these services are of short-term. As a result, many of the victims and their children return to their abuser. Once the family is back in the environment which they intended to get away from, their risk is higher and their hope for a better life is gone. ASafeHarborHome, Inc. is designed to provide these families with the financial means to live away from their abuser and to receive domestic violence related services on a long-term basis. We are glad to report that we are currently assisting victims with the financial help they need so they can have an opportunity to be free from abuse and become self-sufficient.
Sometimes the victims and their children have left everything behind. Although, ASafeHarborHome, Inc. can provide them with a place to reside, many families have no clothes, no furniture and a list of their needs can be overwhelming for them. This is another way in which the generous donations of our community come into play. Through every ones’ support the return of dignity, safety, hope and peace will enhance the life of these families. Experience tells us that the communities that join hands in their efforts to solve social problems become not only safer communities, but they also become strong communities.
Help us provide the necessary means for our victims of domestic violence and their children as well as our homeless clients. Thank you for considering ASafeHarborHome, Inc. as one of the recipients of your donations.

Research from the Bureau of Justice Statistics indicates that intimate violence is primarily a crime against women. In 1998 females were 75 percent of the victims of intimate murders and about 85 percent of the victims of nonlethal intimate violence. [Henneburg, M. (2000).
