The History of SafeHouse

It's Women's History Month, and we're taking some to reflect on the history of SafeHouse.


SafeHouse was founded by a group of concerned citizens who realized the great need for a domestic violence shelter in Shelby County. In 2003, the SafeHouse Board of Directors launched a multi-year campaign to construct much needed facilities required to carry out our mission and meet the needs of our community. In 2007, The Caroline E. Jackson Center for Women and Children opened a 56 bed emergency shelter offering immediate safe shelter for survivors and their children. SafeShelby SANE Clinic opened in December 2016 to provide sexual assault forensic exams and follow-up services.

Today, SafeHouse continues to grow and to provide life-saving services to victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. In 2020 our staff assisted 450 clients. We can't wait to see where SafeHouse will go in 2021!
