The 24-Hour Emergency Shelter provides the following free services to women and children who are victims of domestic violence:

• Case Management
• Group Counseling
• Three meals a day
• Children’s health assessments and care
• Children’s dental assessments and care
• Adult education and job readiness referrals
• After school and summer school programs
• On-site nursery

The Emergency Shelter serves 100 women and children. Referrals are done through the Hotline (1-866-SAFE-014): an operator connects the woman to a staff member who helps in safety planning and sets up a confidential place to meet.

Because of a shortage in emergency housing in Philadelphia, the maximum length of stay at the shelter is 90 days.

Legal help for domestic violence is available through WAA’s legal center at 100 S. Broad Street, 5^th floor.
