Shelters
Emergency Shelter Program by Crisis Center
P.O Box 631302, Littleton, CO 80163
Website: thecrisiscenter.org
Phone: 303.688.8484 (24-Hour Crisis Line)
About
The Crisis Center’s emergency shelter program offers a safe shelter at a confidential location for individuals and families who are seeking refuge from intimate-partner violence. Individuals and/or families who are seeking shelter will call our 24-hour crisis line at 303.688.8484 and complete a 20-minute phone screen.
For callers where English is not the primary language, they can make arrangements to complete the phone screen with an interpreter.
The purpose of the phone screen is to determine if the Crisis Center is able to assist you with shelter. If not, they will provide referrals to other agencies.
Intake Process
The stay in shelter is short-term, for up to 21 days. During your stay, they will provide case management, community referrals, safety planning, and help meet basic needs such as food and clothing. Group and individual counseling services are also available. An Advocate will work with you to create a plan that can assist you beyond your stay at our emergency shelter.
