Illinois Valley Safehouse Alliance

Illinois Valley Safehouse Alliance, doing business as The Alliance, is a woman-owned non-profit organization located in Cave Junction, Oregon, that focuses on providing critical support services to victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, and stalking in rural Josephine County. Registered in SAM.gov since 2005, the organization serves as a vital community resource, offering comprehensive victim support through a walk-in support center and 24/7 crisis hotline, with a mission of enhancing victim safety and improving community responses to interpersonal violence.

The organization has received multiple federal grants from the U.S. Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women, specifically through the Rural Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, and Stalking Assistance Program and the Transitional Housing Assistance Grants Program. These grants, totaling approximately $2.25 million across three recent awards, enable The Alliance to provide a range of critical services including core victim services, crisis intervention, transitional housing, case management, safety planning, and support for underserved populations such as rural, LGBTQ2S, elderly, tribal, and Hispanic victims. The Alliance collaborates with key partners including the Josephine County Sheriff, Illinois Valley Fire District, Tolowa Dee-Ni' Tribal Nation, Oregon Department of Human Services, United Community Action Network, and the Oregon Attorney General's Sexual Assault Task Force to deliver holistic, victim-centered support through scattered-site housing, advocacy, counseling, and community education initiatives.
