24-hour domestic and sexual violence emergency shelter
It is the only 24-hour domestic and sexual violence emergency shelter within Isanti, Chisago, Kanabec, Pine, and Carlton Counties. On average, the Black Dog Hill Shelter provides secure emergency shelter and access to basic needs to nearly 18+ survivors and children daily. Basic needs could include meals, toiletries, clothing, linens, diapers, laundry facilities, and access to our food shelf.
Advocates work closely with each program participant to create a path to self-sufficiency for individuals leaving abusive relationships. When an individual or family arrives at our shelter, they have a safe place to stay while receiving on-site support to resolve immediate crises, health concerns, legal issues, economic problems, and improve their overall well-being. Advocates also assist families in reaching housing, education, and employment goals.
