Service Coordination

Survivors of sexual violence, intimate partner and domestic violence, human trafficking, and stalking often need support beyond crisis intervention. The Survivor Advocacy Outreach Program (SAOP) provides free, confidential service coordination to help survivors access housing, counseling, financial assistance, legal services, and other essential resources.

How Service Coordination Can Help

Our Service Coordinators work directly with survivors to:

  • Assess Needs & Provide Referrals – We help survivors connect with housing, healthcare, financial aid, and counseling services.
  • Facilitate Supportive Services – We coordinate access to legal assistance, childcare, transportation, and employment resources.
  • Advocate for Survivor Rights – We help ensure survivors receive the support and benefits they are entitled to.
  • Assist with Applications – We guide survivors through applications for housing, public benefits, and victim compensation programs.
  • Monitor Care Plans – We provide ongoing support, reassessing survivor needs and adjusting resources as necessary.
