AVDA's Community of Hope
Aid to Victims of Domestic Abuse, Inc. (AVDA) offers life-saving services while promoting violence-free relationships and creating the social changes necessary to end domestic and dating violence.
We are dedicated to empowering and supporting survivors of domestic violence to live violence-free and self-sufficient lives.
A heart filled with love has no room for hate.

Immediate Access to Support
AVDA is available to provide support, information, referrals, and access to services through our 24-hour crisis hotline. AVDA responds to over 2,500 crisis calls and reaches out to over 1,000 survivors listed on police reports, annually.

Casa Vegso
Through AVDA's residential programs, we serve approximately 300 women, men, and children, annually. AVDA’s 64-bed emergency shelter provides an inviting and welcoming environment for survivors and their pets. A 32-bed transitional housing program provides survivors with a longer term residence for up to two years.

Economic Empowerment
99% of survivors of domestic violence experience financial abuse that prevents them from having the financial resources to leave an abusive partner. In the 2020-2021 fiscal year, AVDA served more than 375 adults through our Anne's STEPS (Support Training and Education for Personal Success) economic empowerment program to assist survivors in overcoming the impacts of financial abuse.

Social Change
Awareness + Action = Social Change
Domestic violence impacts millions of people each year, but it can be prevented. It requires the collective voice and commitment of individuals, families, institutions, and systems. Together we can reduce domestic violence.
