Arbor Housing and Development Domestic Violence Shelter

Arbor Housing and Development is a progressive, non-profit, 501(c)3 corporation, committed to building independence and creating housing options to underserved populations primarily in the Southern Tier of New York and North Central Pennsylvania. Created over 50 years ago during the "war on poverty" as Steuben Churchpeople Against Poverty, the organization has grown from 8 part-time volunteers dedicated to self-help housing to 120 full-time employees. We offer residential behavioral health and domestic violence services that help people overcome challenges and go on to live safely on their own. Arbor Housing and Development's assistance for renters and home-buyers creates a pathway to the security and stability all people deserve. By developing, rehabilitating and managing quality residential sites, we empower people to live within their means in communities of their choice. Today, Arbor Housing and Development is a thriving human services and housing assistance provider, real estate development and property management corporation, NeighborWorks affiliate, and Rural Preservation Company.

The Net Domestic Violence program includes a14 bed facility that provides wrap around services to create a survivor of domestic violence, not a victim.  There is a residential, non-residential, legal and transitional domestic violence program that provide services and emergency items while in shelter and while transitioning out of shelter is extremely important during a difficult time.  Help us help individuals and families in need; donate to Arbor Developments DV shelter through FLX.  Thank you for your support!
