LifeWire | HSH Apartments
LifeWire supports survivors of domestic violence on their path towards safety, stability, and healing. We work to end domestic violence by changing community beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors. Domestic violence is a human rights issue. LifeWire envisions a community in which every person lives in a safe environment, free from oppression and with the opportunity to thrive. The HSH Apartments are a new emergency and transitional shelter facility offering 25 units of housing for survivors of domestic violence and their children.
