Sojourner House marks 50 years of service with a day of cross-sector collaboration– bringing together advocates, clinicians, attorneys, law enforcement, and housing leaders to reimagine safety and support for survivors of abuse.

Reimagining Victim Advocacy: A Conference on Housing, Justice & Innovation will be a gathering for people working to prevent intimate partner violence, support survivors, strengthen the laws that govern our safety, and build healthier communities.
