FREEDOM STARTS WITH SAFETY.

The WCA’s effort to pave the way to safe housing starts with you! Domestic abuse is the #1 cause of homelessness in Idaho. The free wraparound services offered by the WCA to our community and shelter clients directly links to reducing the crisis of homelessness in Idaho. The need for your support is ongoing and is growing each year.

YOU CAN PAVE THE PATH TO SAFETY!

Your vital gift will allow the WCA to meet the unprecedented need of WCA services in our community. Every month, your gift supports the healing journey from intake, to an exit into safe housing.

THE DIFFERENCE $120 MAKES.

One safe bed night at the WCA’s shelter facilities costs $120. Your gift of $120 funds and facilitates a safe bed night as well as wrap around services for an individual in our community who needs safety at WCA’s shelters. In 2024/2025, we are facing a shortage of necessary funding for shelter services. We are asking our community to come together to fund 120 safe bed nights.

Demystifying the crisis of homelessness caused by domestic abuse:

• 98% of domestic violence survivors also experience economic abuse.
• Domestic abuse creates barriers to housing, many survivors are in dire need of financial support and empowerment and case management.
• As our local and state populations increase, so do reported cases of domestic abuse.
• Combined with the fact that rent has increased by an average of $474.46 per household (that’s 41%), a record number of members within our community are in need of the services offered by the WCA.
