About this organization
Women who seek shelter at Iris Kirby House have typically experienced a combination of several types of abuse: physical, psychological, emotional, sexual and financial. Whatever type you may be experiencing, remember its not your fault. We offer a safe haven and nonjudgmental support, and assist women in looking at all their options. We recognize that it is a basic human right for each individual to live free and without fear of violence. Some important things to note:
- Our 24 hour distress lines are often the first step in reaching out for help. Click here to contact us.
- The duration of a stay at the shelter is assessed on an individual basis with housing and other factors being considered. Typically, this would include a situation where a family has not been able to find an adequate, affordable place to live or if the familys safety continues to be a concern. Click here for more.
