Hope’s Door seeks to end domestic violence and to empower victims to achieve safety, independence, and healing from the trauma of abuse. 

Since it was founded in 1979, Hope’s Door has helped thousands of victims of all ages and from all walks of life make their personal journey from victim to survivor.  As we say:

Home: 		It’s where you should feel safe and protected.
Hope’s Door: 	It’s who you call if you’re not.
El Hogar:  	Es donde debes sentirse seguro y protegido.
Hope’s Door:	Somos a quien llamar si no lo estas.

We were founded by the Junior League of Northern Westchester as the Northern Westchester Shelter, which later became Hope’s Door.  Hope’s Door works to end domestic violence and empower victims to achieve safety, independence and healing from the trauma of abuse. In addition, Hope’s Door works to educate the public about the root causes of abuse; the warning signs of abuse; the difference between a healthy relationship and an unhealthy relationship; and we strive to end the intergenerational cycle of abuse.

The multi-cultural programs and services at Hope’s Door include a free and confidential bilingual 24/7 crisis hotline, safety planning, danger assessment, emergency shelter, legal advocacy, individual counseling, support groups, children’s programs, community education, the Next Step Economic Empowerment Program, and Love Shouldn’t Hurt, an award winning teen dating abuse intervention and prevention program.
