For the past 45 years, Constance Morris House has stood as a beacon of hope for families and individuals of all genders seeking refuge from domestic violence. Over the decades, it has evolved, adapting to the changing needs of our community and incorporating best practices in shelter care. The recent renovations mark a pivotal shift in our philosophy and approach, moving from an \u201cundisclosed location\u201d to a more accessible and visible space.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The challenges of keeping shelter locations confidential can sometimes hinder timely access to support. Our new, open approach addresses these challenges head-on, fostering an environment where safety and support are readily accessible.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
