If a woman decides she cannot return to her former home, she is faced with making important decisions:

.....Where will she and her children live?

.....What are her child-care options?

.....How will she support herself?

.....Would it be better to relocate and be near family or friends?

.....Are there funds available to help people in her situation?

CODA's shelter is designed to provide a safe, short-term haven in crisis situations. However, it is not available for long-term housing needs. Thus the case manager works closely with residents to explore options for the time they leave CODA.

The case manager interacts daily with the domestic violence counselor, children's counselor and legal advocates to help clients make the best possible choices for their futures and those of their children.
