Safe Horizon is the largest victim service organization in the country.
5,000,000
Lives transformed since 1978
Every year, 250,000 people who have experienced violence, abuse, or exploitation seek safety through our services. We offer immediate and practical support like a hot meal, someone to talk to, and a safe place to sleep, as well as deep, ongoing services such as mental health counseling, help finding a place to live and to work, and assistance navigating oppressive and often racist systems.
Safe Horizon believes that everyone deserves to feel safe in their communities, homes, bodies, and minds. Because safety is a human right.
In 2024, our programs served people in all five boroughs:
