How Does The Merryman House Domestic Crisis Center Assist Survivors With Housing Placement and Stability?
How Can The Community Support Survivors In Their Efforts To Achieve Housing Stability?
- Donations of Furniture, Cookware and other Household Items: Most victims exiting our Emergency Shelter do not have standard household items or furnishings such as mattresses, linens and cookware. The Merryman House assists clients with locating these items largely
through other community service agencies or donations. If you or someone you know is interested in donating needed household items for survivors, please contact our Facilities Coordinator for more information at (270) 816-3862. - Landlord Partnerships: Survivors of domestic violence frequently have barriers to obtaining housing that are the direct results of the abuse they experienced such as poor rental history
stemming from noise complaints, damage to the unit, etc. This can cause significant challenges in identifying property owners that will not screen victims out of their rental properties. Landlords interested in working with the Merryman House and survivors of domestic violence should contact the agency for more information. - Financial Assistance: There are many circumstances in which clients need financial assistance in order to obtain or sustain housing that they are unable to receive through community service agencies or certain rental assistance programs. Cash donations dedicated to housing assistance often provide survivors the funds necessary to stabilize their housing.
