Sanctuary for Families is New York’s leading service provider and advocate for survivors of domestic violence, sex trafficking and related forms of gender violence. Every year, we empower thousands of adults and children to move from fear and abuse to safety and stability, transforming lives through a range of comprehensive services and advocacy. Founded in 1984 as a small network of safe homes, for the past 35 years Sanctuary has provided a growing portfolio of services designed to address the complex needs of New York City’s most at-risk abuse survivors. We are committed to providing inclusive services to survivors from all backgrounds and communities across NYC, focusing our culturally and linguistically sensitive services on reaching some of the most under-resourced, underserved members of our community.
