Domestic Violence Shelter and More

Kelly’s Serenity House services form a safety net of prevention, education and support for hundreds of people traumatized by domestic violence every year.

Residential services are provided through two secure locations in Kankakee County and Cook County comprehensive outreach services are provided to those not needing secure shelter.

15 women and children can be housed between the two locations.

Unbelievably, both shelters are at capacity every day of the year.

Over the past 10 years, Kelly’s Serenity House programs and services have expanded to include:


  • outreach therapy

  • court and legal program

  • a safe visitation center

  • hospital-based advocacy

  • on-call women’s advocates who work with area police departments

  • Professional training on domestic violence for medical students, newly recruited police officers, corporations, hospital personnel and social workers.

Domestic Violence Statistics at Kelly’s Serenity House

Kelly’s Serenity House hot line and programs helps survivors of domestic violence each year. In December, 2013 alone we logged the following numbers:


  • Number of women in shelter: 12

  • Number of children in shelter: 8

  • Number of hot line call: 97

  • Number of people turned away due to capacity: 70

Even with 100% funding and staffing the need would still be greater than the resources available.

 For those we are able to help every day, we depend on the personal funds of the founder’s and events that we give for monetary support.

 


We Would Love to Have You Visit Soon!
