Faces of Hope Victim Center is a warm and welcoming place where people affected by interpersonal violence can receive help with no judgment, no strings, and no fees. Our mission is to reduce victimization with a safety net of crisis services. Through one door, our specialized multi-disciplinary team wraps around an individual or family and provides crisis-intervention services to stabilize them. Although we have law enforcement on site, we do not require that adults file a report with them to receive services. Today, Faces of Hope Victim Center stands as the ultimate safety net for victims of abuse and neglect in Ada County. As a partner in the Center the Faces of Hope Foundation fills a fundamental gap in resources by providing services essential to victims’ well-being. For example, the Foundation provides legal aid, protection orders, safety planning, residential repairs, basic necessities, emergency housing assistance, transportation, and education. All of our services are voluntary, and services are provided at no cost to victims.
