The Community Advocacy Program (CAP) is designed to meet women’s needs at any stage of her domestic violence relationship.  Women that are still involved in an abusive situation may access our services to develop a personalized safety plan to minimize the danger.  Our CAP office also works with women that have had domestic violence issues in the past and need support.  We are a part of a multi-service agency and can address many needs within our building such as assistance with food, utilities, move-in cost, emergency motel vouchers and transitional housing. The Salvation Army Community Advocacy Program offers legal advocacy to assist women in understanding their options.  Please be advised that legal advocates are not attorneys and cannot provide legal advice.

Recognizing that prevention and intervention are equally important, CAP employs an Outreach and Prevention Educator.  She works with young people, helping them identify and confront domestic and dating violence in their own lives. A brief list of services we offer are:

• Individual Advocacy
• Confidential one-on-one meetings
