About us
Moving victims of violence from crisis to confidence ... Safe Horizon’s mission is to provide support, prevent violence, and promote justice for victims of crime and abuse, their families, and communities. For over a quarter of a century Safe Horizon has been at the forefront of helping victims of crime and abuse through their crises. We are woven into the fabric of New York City, and we are here where and when you need us – in the courts, in your community and at the other end of a telephone at any hour of the day or night. We are recognized leaders responding to the changing needs of our clients, and we are sought out as experts on issues of violence and victimization for programs across the country and around the world. One by one, our dedicated staff touches the lives of 250,000 victims and their families each year, helping them to find hope by offering a chance to tell their story in their own words, a guide through the criminal justice system, a safe place to sleep, and so much more.
