What to expect when you reach out to us


Clients access crisis support as soon as they walk through our doors, call our 24/7 hotlines or go to the hospital.

Highly trained HAWC advocates provide survivors with information and resources to assess their danger, make a safety plan, find shelter and access services such as legal help and housing options. Survivors and their children fleeing violence and trafficking can receive safety on demand at HAWC’s 120-bed emergency residential facility, the only one of its kind within the Houston Metropolitan Area.
