A young woman with a new baby escapes an abusive relationship and turns to the Center for Hope & Safety for emergency shelter.
She is housed in a congregate setting, sharing living space and restrooms with other survivors. The Salem-based nonprofit organization connects her to resources and enrolls her in its rapid rehousing program, helping her to not just survive but thrive.
