Roberta's Place, Inc. is a minority-owned, woman-owned, non-profit organization registered in Grants, New Mexico, specializing in providing comprehensive support services and transitional housing assistance to victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. As a domestic shelter and victim services provider, the organization is committed to delivering victim-centered, trauma-informed care to vulnerable populations in rural and tribal regions of New Mexico. The organization maintains active federal grant funding and collaborates with multiple community partners to expand its reach and effectiveness in serving survivors experiencing housing instability and homelessness.

Roberta's Place has received a prime federal grant award totaling $498,833 from the U.S. Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women under the Transitional Housing Assistance Grants for Victims of Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Stalking, or Sexual Assault program (CFDA 16.736), awarded October 1, 2025, with completion scheduled for September 30, 2028. Through this "Pathways to Safety and Stability" initiative, the organization will provide up to 24 months of transitional housing in four scattered-site, private landlord residences for twelve survivors and their families, coupled with comprehensive supportive services including rental and utility assistance, case management, job training, and legal aid services. Additionally, Roberta's Place has received sub-grant awards from the Crime Victims Reparation Commission New Mexico in both 2023 and 2024, supporting the operation of its shelter program (minimum 90 people) and non-residential center (minimum 40 people) through a staffing model that includes shelter case managers, a shelter manager, programs manager, client service director, bookkeeper, non-residential case manager, and executive director. These sub-grants fund the provision of individualized, survivor-directed services that emphasize rules-reduced shelter practices, trauma-informed care, victim rights education, compensation claims assistance, and emergency assistance funds, while maintaining a philosophy of inclusion and autonomous personal development for all shelter guests and community participants.
