EspañolNew York City Programs
This page has contact information for programs that offer assistance and referrals to victims and survivors of abuse in New York City. If you plan to contact a program by email, please review our Safety when using email page first.
We list the organizations by the county (borough) where the office is located, but many offices serve multiple counties. You can click “View All” to look through the complete list of organizations. To find a domestic violence shelter, and for help with immediate safety planning, you can also call the City’s 24-hour Domestic Violence Hotline: 800-621-HOPE (4673).
Please note: WomensLaw does not have a relationship with or promote the organizations listed on these pages. Because we include thousands of resources, we cannot review them regularly or vouch for the information or services they provide. We share these resources to help all victims and survivors of abuse find essential direct services and support their needs and safety concerns.
