YWCA Dayton Domestic Violence Shelter
We believe that everyone deserves to live a life free from violence.
Since 1977, YWCA Dayton has operated our 24/7 Crisis Hotline and Montgomery County domestic violence shelter, serving on the front lines of responding to intimate partner violence. We took ownership of the Preble County shelter in 2004.
24/7 CRISIS HOTLINE (Montgomery County): 937-222-SAFE
24/7 CRISIS HOTLINE (Preble County): 937-456-6891
Our imminent risk shelters prioritize space for women and children at the highest risk of being harmed or killed for reasons related to domestic violence, sexual violence, stalking or human trafficking.
We serve women and children living in Montgomery and Preble counties.
