Since 1976 Hiatus House has been committed to providing a safe environment for women and their children who have experienced domestic violence. Hiatus House is a safe space where women and their families can heal and strengthen their lives after experiencing violence.
Hiatus House is the only shelter in Windsor mandated to support women and families who have experienced violence. Their services offer help and hope to those impacted by violence.
Last year 555 women and children were admitted to the emergency shelter, and are now working on second-stage assistance for these women and their children. Hiatus House is launching a Transitional Housing Project directly across the street from the emergency shelter. The proposed building will offer 40 apartment units and wrap-around services to support women who have left violent situations with safe, affordable housing and provide “A Place to Heal”.
