The Resource Center of Somerset is a private, nonprofit agency that has been serving people affected by domestic abuse for more than 30 years. Originally named the Resource Center for Women and their Families and founded by a small group of volunteers in 1979, the Resource Center provides emergency shelter to women escaping abusive relationships.
The agency has expanded services throughout its years of operation to include not only emergency shelter but legal advocacy, outreach counseling, community education, volunteer Domestic Violence Response Teams working with local police departments, transitional housing and more. Services are provided to survivors of domestic abuse, women, men and children, free of charge, and in English and Spanish.
