SHELTER

Sojourner Truth House

Sojourner Truth House has been in existence since 1978. The 42-bed emergency shelter offers a safe respite for battered women, sexual assault victims and their children. Each victim is provided with basic necessities such as food, transportation, and clothing, warmth, security, empathy and support, counseling and support groups, advocacy services and children’s programming. The 24-Hour Domestic Violence Hotline for Milwaukee County also operates out of the shelter. A caring and compassionate staff offers confidential, individual counseling and safety planning 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Sojourner Truth House is a safe place for women and their children to break the cycle of violence, and to heal. If you need a place to:

• begin your journey of healing in a confidential setting
• someone to listen, someone to talk to, support, and provide safety planning
• somewhere to break silence, let your voice be heard, rebuild your self esteem and support others in their journeys to healing
• to sleep peacefully at night, to be respected and to ask questions without fear of being judged
• to learn new parenting skills and develop closer bonds with your children

Call us at (414) 933-2722 and take the first step to rebuilding a violence-free life.
