Welcome to Teller Safe Harbor

Teller Safe Harbor has been organized to build or renovate a house to be used as a safe house, in Teller County Colorado. The goal is to provide victims of domestic abuse, a safe place to escape the violence and make plans for the future.

Right Now in Teller County Colorado

The need of having a safe house in Teller County is constantly growing:

  • Law enforcement gets 175-200 reported cases of family violence each year. At least the same amount go unreported.
  • Friends and Family often do not understand.
  • Even today, victims here must look outside our community to find safety.
  • Our victims must leave local jobs, schools, etc. if seeking safety elsewhere.
  • Staying with an abuser often seems to be their only choice.
