Domestic Abuse (DA) - Safe At Home

The Safe at Home Program was implemented by the State in July 1999. The program is to help survivors of DA remain safe after they have left an abusive situation. Each certified participant of this program is assigned a substitute Post Office (PO) Box address to use in place of a home, work, or school address. This PO Box address becomes confidential when the client enrolls in the Safe at Home Program.

If a client/applicant is interested in enrolling in the Safe at Home Program, they will need to contact one of the following local agencies.
