Safe Harbor Program
On average, it takes a person seven attempts to leave an abusive relationship for good. CGMA’s Case Manager and licensed social worker, Jessica Manfre, explains, "Leaving is often the most dangerous period of time for survivors of abuse. Financial support during this vulnerable stage is a crucial step to empowering a person to take the steps that will secure their safety and give them a higher chance of success away from an abusive situation."
CGMA offers a combination of grants and interest-free loans as needed for shelter, food, transportation, and childcare costs.
