Our mission is to provide safe spaces and a variety of services to all survivors of domestic and gender-based violence and to advocate for the vulnerable populations we serve. We aim to enhance our social fabric by addressing gaps in services built upon Islamic tradition and values and on our shared common practices.

Noora House is a confidential, 13-bed shelter for women and children fleeing domestic violence. We provide residents with halal food, case management,
and trauma-informed care. Noora House includes a wheelchair-accessible room, kitchen, pantry, washer and dryer, musalla (prayer space), garden, and a growing library — allowing residents to heal and rebuild in a home-like environment.
Domestic violence often includes financial abuse. We provide survivors with microgrants to redress rental arrears and food insecurity and to purchase clothing, school supplies, furniture, and more.
Our Hope and Healing Program offers culturally and linguistically conscious mental health counseling.
The Resilience and Stability Program offers compassionate case management services.
The Pillars Advocate Program gives students an opportunity to raise awareness about intimate partner violence prevention and share resources that help students access support. Advocates help create campuses where survivors feel safer, believed, and supported.
In 2025, we welcomed a mother and her children for the first time at Noora House. We also welcomed our first pregnant survivor and our first survivor with a service animal. We focused on doing shelter differently: not rushing people through a system, but offering a steady, trauma-informed space where survivors can rest, be believed, and are empowered to make choices on their own timeline. Because each resident can stay up to 90 days, we are able to provide individualized support that goes beyond a bed, including safety planning, emotional support, and practical steps toward stability.
Every dollar you donate will go a long way to help save lives of families and children subjected to abuse. Whether it’s helping pay rent, buying food, getting access to healthcare services, or providing the resources needed to ensure safety.
