Everyone deserves safety—our advocates are here for you.
The Lighthouse Domestic Violence Shelter of Fairfield County, Ohio services are free of charge and are confidential. Services are available to any victim regardless of race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, age, disability, marital status, amnesty or status as a covered veteran in accordance with applicable federal, state and local laws, including victims of federal crimes. The Lighthouse is committed to being a Safe Zone, part of the visible network of allies. LEP/Deaf/Hard of Hearing Services are available. Our advocates will assist LGBTQ + Victim Advocate survivors of DV/sexual assault through court procedures
You can call us year round and around the clock. Someone is always available to take your call. Due to our limited space, we ask that you call to have a telephone assessment to ensure that you are appropriate for our services. If space is available, we can only hold your space for 24 hours. If time exceeds 24 hours, you will need to call to ensure that the space is still available. We can also offer referrals to other shelters and programs.
