The Friendship Center provides safe shelter to everyone, regardless of gender or identity.

Our onsite shelter is available to single women (cis and trans) and women with their dependent children due to current domestic violence, sexual assault, and/or stalking (DVSA) and who are currently in Lewis and Clark, Broadwater, or Jefferson counties.

Our onsite shelter is a low-barrier shelter and is designed to promote safety and independence. Expectations for living in shelter are centered around safety. Learn more about our shelter options below.

​

Emergency Shelter

The purpose of this shelter is to provide a safe place to live while you plan for your next steps. Residents can typically stay in our emergency shelter for up to three months.

​

Longer-term Shelter

The purpose of this shelter is to provide a safe place while you plan for next steps and allow for time to address barriers you may have towards safe housing.

​

You can qualify for our longer-term shelter if you are currently experiencing DVSA or if a recent lack of housing is directly caused by DVSA. There is an application for our longer-term shelter. If you have already applied, we ask that you keep in contact with us so that we can stay updated on your situation and whether you are still in need. If you have not applied, please use the contact form below to learn more about our shelter availability.
