VAW Emergency Shelter
Hiatus House strives to break the cycle of domestic violence one family at a time. We do this by providing 24 hour a day crisis intervention and emergency shelter to abused women and their children. In addition, we provide public education, research and specialized counseling services for all family members affected by domestic violence.
