“Noah's animal house: noah's animal house is a pet sanctuary for shelter residents, which allows women to escape abusive situations without leaving behind their pets. In homes where there is violence, pets are often threatened or injured by the violent partner. It is not uncommon for an abuser to continue to control the relationship using the family pet. Noah's is the first full service facility of its kind located on the grounds of the women's shelter in the western region of the united states. Stallman touro clinic: volunteer physicians, nurses, and other medical professionals provide care for the women and children staying at the shelter. Most domestic violence victims would not leave the protection of the building to receive medical care and the families living in poverty are in need of well baby check-ups and women's health screenings to identify and prevent serious medical problems in the future. Children's activity center (cac): a specialized program addressing multiple issues faced by homeless and abused children. Programs include a literacy/reading program, homework assistance, art sessions, character development and other life skills activities. Annually more than 1,000 children participate in programs provided by this center. The average age of the children is 7 years, but there are one day old babies that make this their first home and teenagers that graduate from high school while staying in the shelter.”
