Help us to Honor the Courageous this Colorado Gives Day.

Everyone knows someone and this year, you can honor those in your life who have experienced domestic violence and interpersonal abuse.

Every gift given this Colorado Gives Day will light a luminary in honor of someone who has experienced domestic abuse or interpersonal violence in your life. 

At the end of the day, we will light up our courtyard in honor of the generosity that supports our organization. 

Every dollar raised goes to support our programs that provide emergency shelter and other wrap-around services to families affected by domestic violence. The assistance they receive at Crossroads is invaluable in helping them move forward with their lives.

Your gift helps make our community a safer place for everyone.



Giving Activity

Mission

Crossroads provides emergency safehousing, advocacy, legal assistance, rapid rehousing, and crisis intervention for victims of domestic violence

Background Statement

Crossroads Safehouse was founded in 1980 as the result of a task force created by the City of Fort Collins to address the need for emergency safehousing and supportive services for victims of domestic violence. In February of that year, we opened the doors to a four-bedroom safehouse. It was full within one hour. Since then we have expanded to a 29,000 sq. ft. facility, which includes 32 bedrooms/104 beds and offices for all administrative and direct-service staff, but one thing hasn't changed - the shelter is still nearly always full. In addition to the emergency shelter, Crossroads offers a variety of programs and services to victims and their children, including a 24/7/365 crisis line always answered by a trained advocate; a food pantry; a 600-sq. ft. boutique which provides clothing and personal items; an on-site medical unit; a pet fostering program; 24/7/365 crisis intervention and victim advocacy at scenes of domestic violence crimes in partnership with law enforcement; a non-residential outreach program; strengths-based, goal-centered individual advocacy; support groups; therapeutic counseling for adults and children; legal advocacy; an on-site law firm; longer-term co-located housing; youth victim services; and community education and prevention programs. All services are free of charge and are offered in Spanish and English.
