Are you wanting to turn a homeless sheler into a battered womens shelter?  Or are you actually wanting integrate them? Women who have been abused do not want to be anywhere near a man!!! especially not the kind of men who are at homeless shelters!!! Not a good plan!

Probably at your local Department of Social Services or check with local churches, rescue missions, women's shelters, etc.

Check out the women's resource centers in your area.  If you can't find any call a social worker

1. go to the phone book, and find organizations that deal with homelessness in your community. if you can't figure the phone book out, then see your librarian. \n\n2. call those organizations or visit them and get resource lists and ALSO do an interview or two. ask them for statistics and answers and reasons. \n\n3. after all this, i'd get on my computer, and google "homelessness" and read several of the pages that come up, to get a good idea on what's going on out there. maybe even use some of those websites as my sources. \n\n4. after taking notes and compiling my sources, and following the steps my teacher has explained to me about writing a research paper, i'd make sure to get a tutor or someone good at grammar and spelling to look over my paper and I'D FOLLOW ALL THEIR ADVICE because my writing skills, based on this question, are atrocious.

You need therapy baby,seriously they could help you understand why you think this and maybe help you help yourself.Good Luck!  I`m not trying to get ya! If you go to a shelter or battered woman you will be a victim forever,there is no marriage they can`t find where a woman isn`t a victim.Go to professional therapists.

Sorry for your situation.  Try a shelter temporarily and the shelter will probably have some additional resources for you for the long term.  I also like the idea of getting welfare until you can get yourself back on your feet.

you might need to find a shelter.  If you are a girl between 18-25 go to transitional housing

Find the nearest womens shelter.  Go there and do not look back.  It is not an easy road, but it is life.   yellow pages.  Call a distress center.  Get out while you can.

Get a list of shelters from Co. Welfare. Then call the nearest to volunteer. Keep calling different shelters until someone says "COME ON DOWN!"  Be sure to tell them if you have prior experience in volunteering, if not they will still have something for you to do! GOOD LUCK AND GOD BLESS!

Call your local police department and ask them to help you get to a shelter for battered women. There, in most cases, you can stay until you find a job and a place to live. A lot of them provide job training and assist in job placement. I wish I could do more for you but at least this is a start. God speead. Oh, and the shelter is in a secret place where your husband cannot find you.

I know that in my area we have an organization called Altrusa.  It's a woman's organization that is doing things for the community to help.  Our group was gathering care packages to send over.  \n\nMy suggestion is to ask local organizations in your area, churches, ywca's, woman's groups if they have any information for you such as, rules on what can be sent, what is needed and how to go about sending.  I know that many churches and other organizations are already doing this so you should be successful if you search them out.  Good luck.

Options:\n\nCall local law enforcement.\nCall a lawyer.\nCall a womens shelter/womens rights advocate.\nCall a domectic violence hotline.\n\nDon't know how bad it is but if they are living together she should probably arrange a place to stay before doing this.  If the guy gets wind of it she may be in harms way again.\n\nA Domestic Violence Protection Order will also help her get things in order and him ordered to stay away or go to jail.

check out the chamber of commerce.  all you need to do is address an envelope to the city and state.  the post office will know the zip if you don't.  also, check at hospitals.  they usually can help people find temporary shelter.  sorry for your situation.

You'll probably get all the info you need (and more) if you contact an administrator of an AK homeless shelter. Just look up 'Homeless Services' in the yellow pages, and ask for the administrator.

I agree with Glo. If she hasn't done so already, she should contact her local domestic violence agency. Some have lawyers on staff and others can refer to lawyers who will provide divorces pro-bono, or at a reduced rate, a sliding scale, or with payment plans. I work as a counselor at a domestic violence agency and we have lawyers that we can call in favors with. \n\nAnd don't be too quick to steer her away from legal aid. In our county, our legal aid does a wonderful job with divorces for women who are being abused. They cross train with our agency so that we are trained on legal issues and they are trained on domestic violence issues. It makes them better equipped to go into court and argue for the victim.\n\nBest of luck to your friend and to you as you support her.
