Crossroads Safehouse has been providing shelter, outreach, and prevention in the Fort Collins area for 42 years.
In 1980, a group of concerned citizens came together to address the issues of our community’s victims of domestic violence and interpersonal abuse. There were simply not enough services for victims to find safety and receive the support that they needed. They partnered with the City of Fort Collins on a Block Grant, and with those funds they purchased a 4-bedroom house. Every room was filled on the same day that Crossroads Safehouse’s doors were opened.
Crossroads provides trauma informed care to victims through advocacy and support. Its programs and services include our crisis line (answered by an advocate 24/7), emergency shelter (accessible 24/7), non-resident advocacy, domestic abuse response, legal advocacy, legal representation, rapid and transitional housing, prevention and education, and youth and bilingual advocacy.
Crossroads aspires to create a future without domestic violence. We focus on sheltering, outreach, and prevention with an eye toward doing all that we possibly can to reduce the numbers we see.
