A Little Bit of History 

Picture
In 1977, A Woman's Place opened up a crisis line for victims/survivors of domestic violence. Then in 1981, the leaders of AWP then opened a safehouse where survivors of domestic violence could stay for safe shelter and support. This was a huge task made possible because of the help from the Greeley Urban Renewal Authority (GURA) and many local businesses and families. A house was donated to the agency, but in order to physically move the house many power lines and traffic signals had to be taken down and adjusted for the house to make it down the streets to its final location. Opening the safehouse was a huge undertaking!

Once completed, A Woman's Place was able to help more survivors of domestic violence with safe shelter, support, and resources. Thanks to generous donations from GURA, in 2013 the shelter received needed renovations updating the client kitchen and other living areas.
​

Forty five years later, the safehouse continues to provide safe shelter to survivors of domestic violence. The work of A Woman's Place continues to be made possible through the generous support of many local businesses and families. A Woman's Place continues to be a critical Weld County lifeline believing that "Everyone deserves to live a life that is free from violence."

Last year, A Woman’s Place was awarded the national Purple Ribbon Award for Excellence in the category of “Rural Initiative of the Year”. The Purple Ribbon Award is a very special honor presented only to the "best of the best" who are making a substantial positive impact on the lives of domestic violence survivors through education, raising awareness, and helping end domestic abuse in a rural area. With your support, we will continue empowering survivors of domestic violence for another 45 years
