Canyon Creek Services

The Canyon Creek Services is a 501(c) 3, nonprofit organization in Cedar City, Utah. CCS has provided shelter, aftercare, and outreach services for the community since 1996. We offer a holistic approach to help survivors escape abuse, break the cycle of violence, and support them through their healing journey.

CCS is the sole provider of emergency shelter services and additional linked services for victims of domestic violence and/or sexual assault in Iron, Beaver, and Garfield counties. Canyon Creek Services is funded by state and federal grants, foundations, and generous donations from caring individuals and groups within our community. These donations are vital to our organization. Thank you for your support! 

Emergency Shelter

Secured with alarm systems, cameras, and well-trained staff, the CCS emergency shelter is accessible 24 hours a day for women and children who need a safe haven from domestic violence or rape/sexual assault situations. We provide help and support on an individual case basis. CCS staff members are always there to provide food, clothing, emotional support, crisis intervention, and advocacy. Men who need a safe place to stay can call our 24-hour crisis hotline for assistance. If you or anyone you know might be in danger, please call one of our 24-hour crisis hotlines.

Victim Advocacy

CCS started offering this service in August 2012. The team consists of several CCS Victim Advocates. Services provided include a 24-hour crisis hotline; on-scene crisis intervention and follow-up support; hospital response advocacy; assistance, support, and court advocacy with Protective Orders, Child Protective Orders, and Stalking Injunctions; and referrals to appropriate community agencies. This program provides mobile advocacy and support for survivors in Iron, Beaver, and Garfield counties.

Affordable Housing Program

CCS started this program in June 2012. This program allows us to help families transition from our shelter to their own homes and provide financial assistance for up to 18 months, along with other supportive services to help them heal from the effects of domestic violence and reach their ultimate goal of self-sufficiency and violence-free lives. 

Community Development and Engagement 

CCS wants to help create a community where domestic violence, rape and sexual assault, and dating violence are intolerable, and families can feel safe together in healthy relationships. We provide awareness and educational presentations and would be happy to come speak to your group about various topics specific to your needs! Let us know if you want a CCS staff member to speak to your group: trish@canyoncreekservice.org
