Waypoint Services Waypoint also serves 14 counties throughout Iowa, with our Survivors' Program. They also support victims of violent felony crimes.

Waypoint’s mission is “to inspire people to move forward,” which is accomplished through leadership in the community’s housing, domestic violence, and homicide survivors’ services, impacting over 15,000 people in crisis each year. Waypoint provides advocacy for people experiencing domestic violence, needing housing, or experiencing a housing crisis by providing emergency shelter, and housing solutions. Survivors' Program advocates for individuals and families who have lost a loved one due to homicide or vehicular homicide. Waypoint's Child Care Program, KidsPoint, is built upon over 30 years of experience offering early childhood education to children of all backgrounds, serving over 500 children ages six weeks to 12 years of age.

At least 28 people lost their lives to domestic violence in Iowa between October 2024 and September 2025, according to Violence Free Iowa’s latest Domestic Violence Homicide Report.

For someone experiencing abuse, leaving isn't always simple or safe. Having access to support, resources, and safety planning can make a difference.

Help is available 24/7. If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic or dating violence, call Waypoint’s Resource and Support Line at 800-208-0388.
