At the moment of their escape, most victims do not have the financial resources to stabilize quickly and face financial troubles from the onset. Many leave with just the clothes on their backs.

Through our work over the last 16 years in this field, we know that the critical first step out of the front door of your violent home is the first step of many. There is a long winding road ahead.

Through the secured Sanctuary web platform and The House A Million Fund, victims leave their violence and have a soft place to land and resources to stabilize and rebuild - silently and securely.

Your donations provide that first step.

The House A Million Fund seeks to provide victims access to our resource network, toiletries, food resources, and short term supplies.

The House A Million Fund will also provide small grants to cover rental assistance, housing and utility deposits, application fees, relocation fees, and more.

Here are some impact numbers to consider:

• $100 → A counseling session and vital crisis support services.

• $250 → A week of housing essentials or critical supplies.

• $500 → Two weeks of groceries for a family of four.

• $1,000 → Emergency housing and critical supplies for two weeks.

• $2,500 → A month’s hotel stay for victim and their family.

Grants of $1000-$7500 will be given from the House A Million Fund will be given on a sliding scale after the victim and family leave the Hotel Safety Net to cover moving and stabilization costs.

The cost of stabilizing a life over months is significantly lower than the financial burden of rebuilding it over years.
