About The Domestic Violence Shelter
The Domestic Violence Shelter, Inc., a private nonprofit organization in Ohio, started its journey in 1979 as one of the state's first three domestic violence shelters. It was initiated by concerned citizens who sought to provide safe havens for victims of domestic violence.
Starting in a downtown Mansfield office with an all-volunteer staff, the shelter soon moved into a three-story house donated by a community member. After several renovations, it transformed into a four-bedroom shelter with administrative offices.
Our current property spans over 16,622 square feet, featuring 14 rooms for survivors, families, and pets that can comfortably accommodate up to 48 individuals. Our services include emergency shelter, a 24-hour crisis line, intensive case management, support groups, legal advocacy, hospital advocacy for survivors of sexual assault, community awareness and education, and a robust volunteer program. We serve survivors of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, human trafficking, and stalking.
