Fearless Hudson Valley, Inc. Advocacy | Support | Education | Prevention | Shelter
Domestic Abuse, Human Trafficking, Sexual Abuse

𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻: To build an informed, just, and accountable society so all people can experience supportive and safe relationships free from abuse, exploitation, and oppression. We do this by education, prevention, advocacy, and providing comprehensive services, including shelter, to victims and survivors of interpersonal violence, human trafficking, sexual violence, and other types of crime victimization.

𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻: We envision being the leading authority on interpersonal abuse and violence, collaborating with other agents of change in dismantling inter-sectional individual and systemic oppression.

𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗛𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆: In 1986, a group of friends gathered around a dining room table to form what was then called Orange County Safe Homes Project. What started as a small organization comprised of a hotline and shelter for domestic violence victims has expanded and grown to an increasingly bold and empowered agency that advocates for change while supporting survivors. We now are the only private, not-for-profit agency in Orange and Sullivan Counties in NY dedicated to assisting survivors of domestic violence, teen dating violence, and human trafficking by providing free and confidential services.

1 in 4 women, 1 in 7 men, and up to half of transgender and non-binary individuals will experience intimate partner violence in their lifetime. Behind these statistics are real people, families, and communities impacted by abuse.
