“People should support LACASA because they are more than a shelter, they are the glue holding families together and keeping them safe. Their support and programs help people become self-sufficient, reducing the chances of returning to abusers.”

How Your Support Makes A Difference

Crisis Intervention & Shelter Support

LACASA provides families with a community that understands them. Our new facility offers privacy, safety, and trauma-informed care. Spaces like our Sexual Assault Response Center – where survivors receive expert forensic care in a supportive environment – provide clients with the comprehensive care they deserve. Private rooms give families the safe space they need to heal.

Emotional Healing & Counseling

Our counselors use specialized techniques to help families process their experiences in a safe, supportive way. Evidence-based tools allow children to express emotions they may not have words for, rebuilding their sense of security and life narrative.

Empowering Families & Teens

We help families strengthen bonds through parenting classes, home visits, and long-term resources. Our teen programs in every local school district teach healthy relationships and help the youth recognize and prevent dating abuse and violence.

Legal Advocacy & Protection

Navigating the legal system is daunting, but our Legal Advocates make it manageable. LACASA ensures that every survivor has the legal support they need to secure safety and justice.

Safe Pet Place & Animal Advocacy

Families don’t need to choose between seeking help and leaving their pets behind. Our Crisis Shelter with pet-friendly rooms and our Safe Pet Place offer victims and survivors the opportunity to stay together with their animals in a safe, trauma-informed environment.

Community Outreach & Prevention

Education is the key to ending abuse. We empower individuals, children, teachers in every Livingston County public school district, and the community to recognize, prevent, and respond to violence, creating brighter futures for all.
