Unalaskans Against Sexual Assault & Family Violence
Providing safety, education, and advocacy services to empower people and create a culture of nonviolence and respect.
Supporting those in crisis in the remotest Aleutian islands.
USAFV operates a shelter and 24-hour crisis line to address the needs of survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, child or elder abuse, stalking, and others in crisis. USAFV provides crisis intervention, safe shelter, safety planning, personal support, systems advocacy, information, referrals, emergency food assistance, and other services, as well as education and outreach.
Our Shelter
For those who need a safe place to call home.
In 1995 the City of Unalaska donated a modular building, and, after renovations were completed, the shelter opened in 1996. Our shelter is small, but cozy and welcoming. We can easily house four women and children, and can accommodate up to 6 if needed. The shelter is a secure place that provides a safe space for survivors to determine what steps they want to take.
