Turning Point operates an emergency shelter that serves bothLehigh and Northampton Counties, accommodating single women and women with children in a communal living environment. The Safe House provides a safe place for victims of domestic violence and their children to explore their options for approximately 30 days. The Safe House location needs to be kept confidential and has a security system maintained with 24-hour staff coverage. To access shelter services an individual must first call the helpline to be screened.

Women and their children living in the Safe House are exposed to a living situation free from violence, often for the first time in their lives. Children learn by example that one can live without violence. Staff and volunteers model non-violent behavior and encourage adult victims to use non-violent parenting alternatives with their children, and non-violent conflict resolution with other shelter residents.
