About Us

As the leading advocate for eliminating domestic violence in northern Illinois, A Safe Place provides emergency shelter, affordable housing, court advocacy, and individual and group supportive services to survivors of domestic violence and their children; educational programs for the community; and intervention services for abusers to learn accountability for their choices and actions. Last year, A Safe Place served more than 31,000 adults and children in the Chicagoland area and Wisconsin.

A Safe Place is the only provider in Lake County solely dedicated to domestic violence & human trafficking. Serving individuals from the North Shore, Northern Illinois, Chicago, Wisconsin, and beyond, we offer lifesaving programs, arrange for safe living spaces, and help families transform their lives after domestic violence. Events like these ensure that we can continue to provide for those most fragile in our communities.
