Safehouse: RAVE’s safehouse is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, serving victims of domestic and sexual violence. It is an environment free of violence which allows clients to receive safe shelter and emotional and physical healing. While at the shelter, families have access to services including individual and group supportive counseling, legal advocacy, referrals and transportation.

Crisis Line: The 24-Hour Crisis Line is operated seven days a week, 365 days a year. It is often the first step many victims take in developing a safety plan and learning about resources and options available to them.

Domestic and Sexual Violence Programs: Through both individual and group counseling, clients are assisted in identifing the effects of domestic and sexual violence on their lives. They then have the opportunity to discover ways to recover from abuse.

Housing Programs: The Transitional Supportive Housing Program and the Tenant Based Rental Assistance Program secure safe housing in Clinton and Shiawassee Counties for families over a 12 to 24 month time period. Over the course of the programs, clients have the opportunity to gain independence while utilizing all of RAVE’s services.

Legal Advocacy: In the midst of dealing with stalking, physical, sexual and emotional abuse, our Legal Advocates help clients to understand the legal process and properly utilize court systems.

Education and Prevention: We are continually in contact with schools, community and service organizations, and agencies and businesses, educating about domestic and sexual violence and lending information and resources to assist in the prevention of violence.

Volunteers: As a nonprofit organization, RAVE relies on the support of individuals and community groups to help fulfill its mission. The success we have been able to achieve would not be possible without those who give so generously.
