Relocation Counseling Project referral, formerly Valenda Applegarth (fleeing/relocating)

There is a non-profit organization called Greater Boston Legal Services that has a “Relocation Counseling Project,” which provides information to domestic violence victims in any state who are fleeing abuse and relocating. Although they don’t provide direct legal representation, they can help you think through your options with an eye towards keeping you safe. They can work with local domestic violence programs to find safe and affordable places with the best privacy options based on relevant state laws, Address Confidentiality Programs, DMV procedures that are friendly, etc. They can be reached at 1-800-323-3205.
