Shelter
Tri-Valley Haven provides emergency shelter for survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking who are seeking a safe and supportive environment. Our emergency shelter, appropriately named Shiloh, meaning “peace”, offers a confidential location with 30 beds for survivors and their children. Families with children of all genders, up to 18, are welcome.
During their stay, residents receive individualized support from trained advocates who work collaboratively with them to identify their needs, establish personal goals, and access available resources. Advocates provide safety planning, emotional support, advocacy, and assistance with housing, employment, financial needs, and other essential services.
Children residing at Shiloh also receive age-appropriate support with advocates working alongside parents to identify their children’s needs, connect families with community resources, and support their overall well-being.
Our services are voluntary, trauma-informed, and survivor-centered, recognizing that each person’s journey toward safety and stability is unique. Advocates work with residents to explore available housing options, including transitional housing and permanent housing resources, while respecting each survivor’s choices, circumstances, and goals.

Advocacy
Tri-Valley Haven provides confidential, trauma-informed advocacy to survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking. Our trained advocates offer individualized support, recognizing that every survivor’s experience, needs, and goals are unique.
Advocates work alongside survivors to explore options, develop personalized safety plans, navigate available resources, and make informed decisions about their safety and well-being. Services may include assistance with housing, legal advocacy, financial resources, employment, transportation, and connections to community services.
Our approach emphasizes empowerment, respect, and survivor choice. We recognize that leaving an abusive relationship is a complex and personal decision, and survivors are supported without judgement, regardless of whether they choose to remain in or leave the relationship.
Tri-Valley Haven also offers support groups that provide opportunities for survivors to connect with others, share experiences, and receive encouragement in a safe and supportive environment.
Our goal is to ensure that every survivor feels heard, respected, and supported while working toward greater safety, stability, and independence.
Prevention
At Tri-Valley Haven, we believe education and awareness are essential to preventing domestic violence and sexual assault and building safer, healthier communities.
Our Prevention Program provides age-appropriate education to middle and high school students throughout the Tri-Valley area. Through interactive presentations and discussions, students learn about healthy relationships, recognizing warning signs of abuse, personal boundaries, consent, and ways to seek help.
Our prevention educators also promote bystander awareness and intervention, empowering young people to recognize harmful behaviors, support one another, and make informed decisions.
By collaborating with local schools and community partners, Tri-Valley Haven works to increase awareness, encourage respectful relationships, and help prevent violence before occurs.
Transitional Housing
Tri-Valley Haven’s Transitional Housing Program provides longer-term, supportive housing for survivors of domestic violence and their children as they work toward greater stability and independence.
The program combines safe housing with individualized advocacy, case management, and supportive services designed to help residents address barriers and work toward their personal goals.
Our advocates work alongside residents to identify their needs, explore housing opportunities, connect with community resources, and develop plans that support their long-term well-being. Services may include housing navigation, financial empowerment, life skills development, and assistance accessing employment, education, and other essential resources.
Through a trauma-informed, survivor-centered approach, we recognize that each person’s journey is unique. Our goal is to provide a supportive environment where residents can make informed decisions, strengthen their independence, and work toward long-term housing stability.
Program referrals are coordinated through shelter service providers and are subject to eligibility requirements and availability.
