Carol’s House
Opened in 2004, Carol’s House is a 24-bed emergency shelter for all victims of domestic violence; it offers residents a safe home for 45 to 60 days in the emergency shelter while receiving concurrent services.
Community Resource Center effectively managed a domestic violence shelter prior to building Carol’s House, but could only provide sanctuary to 12 clients at a time. Carol Cianfarani, one of our supporters, envisioned a larger facility that provided all victims with a home-like environment. With Carol’s vision and a collaboration of several community partners, over $150,000 was raised to help build Carol’s House at an extraordinary speed of 18 days and at minimal cost to Community Resource Center.
*Carol’s House is a County Funded Program
