House of Grace Domestic Violence Shelter is expanding its reach to provide services in Grenada, Holmes, and Carroll counties. Under the leadership of Executive Director Sarita Drake, House of Grace continues its mission of helping survivors of domestic abuse rebuild their lives with safety, dignity, and support. The expansion brings vital domestic violence resources closer to individuals and families who may have previously faced limited options when seeking help.
Access to domestic violence services can make a life changing difference for someone experiencing abuse. Survivors in these communities will have greater access to support that can help them move from crisis toward safety and stability. House of Grace provides confidential emergency shelter for men, women, and their children, along with a 24 hour crisis line, case management, housing resources, food assistance, and connections to other essential services. Survivors can also receive help locating resources related to childcare, healthcare, legal services, clothing, and other immediate needs.
Expanding services into these counties creates another pathway to safety for people who may feel isolated or unsure of where to turn. Transportation barriers, limited local resources, and long distances can make seeking help especially difficult in rural communities. Having House of Grace available to serve more areas can help survivors receive support sooner, explore their options, and make informed decisions about their next steps.
House of Grace believes that every survivor deserves compassionate care and the opportunity to build a future free from violence. With services now extending into Grenada, Holmes, and Carroll counties, more Mississippi communities will have access to resources that can help survivors find safety, regain stability, and begin rebuilding their lives. Anyone needing assistance can contact the House of Grace 24 hour crisis line at (662) 342-1432.
