Safehouse Progressive Alliance For Nonviolence Inc

The emergency shelter program is the core of span's residential services. Span's emergency shelter has 27 beds, and this state-of-the-art facility was built in 2008, increasing span's original shelter capacity by 60%. The shelter is staffed 24/7 and is home to span's crisis & information hotline. In addition to all basic needs, residents receive case management, trauma counseling, healthcare services, and information to help them establish a life safe from violence. In 2024 span provided emergency shelter services to 245 adults and 107 children, for a total of 8,995 days of service. Shelter staff and trained crisis intervention specialists responded to 8,979 crisis hotline calls in 2024, providing crisis intervention, information, and referrals, as well as access to span's emergency shelter. The advocacy program provides crisis intervention and ongoing advocacy for survivors involved with law enforcement and the justice system. Span staff and volunteers operate a protection order clinic in boulder and broomfield courts, and span also provides survivors with access to pro bono legal representation as they apply for protection orders and deal with other civil matters, like custody and parenting arrangements. With few pro-bono legal resources available for civil court issues, span's lawyers for victims program is one of the only options for low-income survivors to access this type of support. In 2024 span supported 424 survivors with information and advocacy around legal issues related to the abuse.
