Program profiles describe the services offered: shelter, safe home, 24-hour hotline, counseling/advocacy, children's counseling, job counseling/training, and legal services. Information is also provided on maximum length of stay, fees, shelter capacity, community outreach efforts, numbers of paid staff and volunteers, wheelchair accessibility, languages spoken other than English, and accessibility of services to the hearing impaired. A partial listing of services for batterers is included.
