ABOUT COASTAL WOMEN’S SHELTER

Coastal Women’s Shelter was established in 1986 to provide services to victims of domestic violence in Craven, Jones, and Pamlico counties. Coastal Women’s Shelter’s mission is to help victims live lives free of domestic violence and to identify/acquire the skills necessary to be self-sufficient. The vision is to prevent future domestic violence and to eradicate existing domestic violence. Over the last 20+ years, Coastal Women’s Shelter has evolved into a program that provides comprehensive services which include: 24-hour crisis line; court advocacy; shelter; survival skills training; weekly support group for women and children; and community awareness events. Last year we received over 7,600 crisis line calls; provided housing, employment, medical, and legal advocacy to over 2,800 victims; provided court advocacy to 630 victims; and sheltered 70 women and children.
