Re-Building

The first domestic abuse shelter in the Upper Roaring Fork Valley

Opening Winter 2025!

 

 

The Diane and Bruce Halle Center for Hope and Healing will provide a haven for survivors of domestic abuse.

Access to safe housing is one of the biggest challenges facing survivors in our community. In fact,
domestic violence is the leading cause of homelessness for women and children nationwide and fear
of losing housing is one of the top reasons that a victim won’t leave their abuser.

The Center will house offices for Response with:

The Shelter portion of the Center will contain: 

  • 5 client meeting rooms
  • A conference room for partner meetings and presentations 
  • A food and clothing pantry for Response clients 
  • 7 efficiency units for survivors and children with kitchenettes and bathrooms
  • Outdoor secure play yard
  • Communal kitchen and living area
  • State of the art security 
  • Attached caretaker unit

 

The shelter will increase our ability to provide housing to survivors in our community by 133%
