A new safe haven for survivors of domestic violence and violent crimes is opening in the Lowcountry. On Tuesday, the Palmetto Hope Network announced the launch of its newest shelter, designed to provide immediate safety and long-term support for women in crisis.

The new 4,000-square-foot facility includes:
Five bedrooms with seven beds
Two full bathrooms for residents

The space will serve as a confidential refuge where women can begin rebuilding their lives while accessing professional resources.
Support Beyond Shelter
In addition to offering safe housing, the shelter will help survivors connect with counseling, legal services, and recovery programs, giving them the tools needed for a fresh start.
