Victim Services

River City provides a wide range of services that are specially coordinated for each victim's individual needs. The main objective of River City is to provide immediate shelter and safety for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. Leaving a dangerous situation at home can be a very scary time. Our staff is here to help in this transition. During a victim's stay at River City our advocates work with victims to help the victim and the victim's family to find stability.
