Dove House Advocacy Services

At Dove House Advocacy Services, our mission is to empower victims of crime and abuse in Jefferson County through education, advocacy, and crisis intervention.

WHAT WE DO 

Support safety, health and hope for those healing from domestic violence, sexual assault, and other crime victimization. Many of our clients also struggle with homelessness, mental illness, substance use, and other traumatic life experiences.  Your gift helps survivors access emergency and long-term affordable housing; peer-to-peer & counseling-based advocacy; and legal/educational/employment resources.  More than that, it inspires those who encounter barriers on their journeys toward rebuilding their lives to keep trying despite the challenges.
