Award: $30,000 toward construction of 12 transitional housing suites within Peace House’s recently built facility on Round Valley Drive. In Utah, 1 in 3 women will face domestic violence in her lifetime. At the time of the award follow up visit (early 2018), participants witnessed the site work phase of the new campus construction. Peace House opened its wrap-around service facility in September of 2019, one year after our site visit. By the end of 2019, Peace House’s annual report stated it provided shelter for 101 adults and children in transition, over 3,000 nights of safety, and nearly 2300 hours of therapy and case management. The 12 transitional housing suites afford survivors of domestic abuse a place to begin healing and successfully planning for a new chapter, free of violence and more economic and emotional stability.
