Our history began in 1977.

When we opened the doors to our first shelter in 1977, there were already women waiting on the doorstep.
Our original name was Family Crisis Shelter.
Emergency shelters were our most critical service in those days as there were few other options for people who were not safe in their homes.
We later changed our name to Family Crisis Services to encompass the wide array of services and programs we provided.
