Stabilizing Women. Protecting Children. Strengthening Families.
Imani’s Safehouse Inc. provides survivor-led, trauma-informed support to girls and women impacted by violence, incarceration, and systemic neglect. Through emotional support, resource navigation, and accessible resilience education, we help women stabilize and regain agency.
When women are supported and safe, children experience greater stability, families are stronger, and intergenerational harm is reduced.

Advocacy
Changing Systems to Stop Punishing Survival.
We advance survivor-informed policy and narrative change to address the systems that harm women and separate families. By centering lived expertise in public dialogue, policy development, and decision-making, we push institutions toward trauma-informed, family-preserving solutions.
Systemic change protects women, prevents intergenerational trauma, and creates lasting community resilience.
Join us. Help shift the culture that normalizes gendered violence and punishes survival—so women, children, and families can thrive.

When women heal and gain access to resources:
-
Children experience fewer disruptions and placements
-
Caregivers can meet emotional and material needs
-
Families avoid cycles of incarceration and separation
-
Future generations gain pathways to thrive
This is prevention, protection, and justice — rooted in care.
Our Vision
We envision a world where no survivor is punished for their pain and where justice is rooted in equity, dignity, and transformation. Guided by Just Practice and Liberation Health frameworks, we dismantle systemic barriers, amplify silenced voices, and advance survivor-led solutions so families and communities can heal and thrive.

"I think that the fact that Imani's safehouse sends money to us women helps with several things firstly it gives a sense that we have some measure of outside support and when someone gains that sense of support then it helps to sustain a kind of mental hope that later on contributes to realizing that we are not just a vacant number, every single day we are surrounded by signs and signals that tell us that we are faceless and nameless and in many times forgotten about when we come to prison ts easy to take get caught up in these signs and signals."
