Safe Futures Community Forum in New London

Safe Futures invites all members of the community to join us  for a community conversation about the future Center for Safe Futures. The Center will be a huge step forward in how our organization will be able to serve the growing number of individuals and their families dealing with abuse in New London County.

The Center for Safe Futures will be a new facility built on Route 85 in Waterford, Connecticut – a central location to all the 21 towns, cities, and tribes that we serve in southeastern Connecticut. Safe Futures will break ground on the new facility on 11 acres acquired through the donation of real estate. Plans have been drawn up to construct a 21,000 square-foot building.

The Center for Safe Futures will be a place of hope for victims and survivors of intimate partner and family violence, sexual assault, stalking, trafficking, elder and child abuse, among other forms of victimization. The Center will be based on the Family Justice Center model, recognized as a best practice for intervention and prevention of domestic violence by Congress and the federal government. With the collaboration of our community partners and service providers, The Center will work to break the cycle of violence and abuse with essential services all under one roof including: advocates, counseling, legal services, law enforcement, education and employment assistance, housing assistance, and more.
