Displaced Homemaker Program

Through this program, qualified men and women are moved from dependency to economic, emotional and physical self-sufficiency. Services are provided to those previously dependent on the income of another household member but are no longer supported by that income and are unemployed or underemployed due to lack of required training or experience.

Children's Programs

By providing intervention, play therapy, and individual and group counseling, Hopeline is able to reach the youngest victims of domestic violence. Services are available to children of both residential and non-residential clients. Support for parent/guardian is provided through information on the effects of violence on children and strategies for positive parenting.
