SafeNest
October 2023 Community Spotlight
SafeNest has been at the forefront of ending domestic and sexual violence in Southern Nevada for 44 years. What sets them apart is the commitment to treating the entire continuum of violence from prevention to protection to empowerment. They not only provide a discreet, safe shelter for victims of abuse, but SafeNest is also the only nonprofit in the Valley to provide resources for batterers to address the cycle of abuse at the root.
SafeNest’s 10 locations in Clark County are placed where victims, children, and batterers need services the most. Their confidential services include:
24/7 crisis hotline
Emergency shelter
Transitional housing
Counseling
Court support
Advocacy
Across all programs, SafeNest provides direct services to more than 20,000 clients in Clark County annually. Tracing roots back to 1977, its past, present, and future are focused on ending domestic and sexual violence.
Today, SafeNest continues to innovate and grow under the leadership of Liz Ortenburger, chief executive officer, and the commitment of 82 dedicated full and part time staff.

We need your help NOW to ensure the safety, security, and stability of EVERYONE -- friends, neighbors, colleagues or loved ones -- suffering from abuse. Gather your friends, family (and dogs!), and colleagues, and become a part of the solution as we work to end the epidemic of domestic violence in the community we call home.
