Children who live with violence are impacted by that violence whether they were physically abused or not. Hubbard House is a leader in addressing the impact of domestic violence on children.

By providing victims with access to information and support as well as safe refuge, the emergency shelter services address the crucial needs of victims in the midst of crisis.
