Nowhere to run
For many women, homelessness begins with domestic violence and nowhere safe to run to.
Domestic violence is a leading driver of homelessness for women and children. Taking the bold step to escape abuse often means losing housing overnight.
In fact, 57% of women who experience homelessness in the U.S. say that domestic violence was the primary cause.
CityTeam disrupts homelessness by stepping in at the moment crisis begins, offering safety, stability, and a path to a comeback.

Homelessness doesn’t start on the street.
It starts behind a closed door where what a woman thought was “love” gets twisted. Her partner turns control into violence, and violence turns into eviction, job loss, and isolation. When a woman chooses safety, it means she loses everything else. Homelessness begins the instant she runs out the door.
— Running from an abusive partner
— Running without a plan
— Running just to survive
— Running without a plan
— Running just to survive
And once she flees, she often faces a second crisis: no door to knock on. No home that will protect her. Nowhere to run.

“I was severely broken and had to work through pain and trauma to heal and find my way again. CityTeam provided my daughters and I with necessities like food, clothing, and shelter. I’m now using my experiences to help others and find a new sense of purpose and strength!”
Run for Diana
Diana experienced domestic violence across nearly all of her relationships, including emotional, verbal, and physical abuse. “I didn’t know what was okay because I never knew exactly what it felt like to be loved. I was just in continuous, dangerous situations,” Diana says.
