GreenHouse17 is committed to ending intimate partner abuse in families and the community. Our specially trained advocates are available to help people harmed by intimate partner abuse any time of the day, every day of the year. Our main facility is situated on a beautiful 40-acre property in rural Fayette County. From this location and three other offices in our service area, we provide crisis intervention and stabilization programming to nurture lives harmed by intimate partner abuse. Our services are based in the trauma-informed care model. This means we honor that everyone responds to and heals from trauma in different ways. Survivors have the opportunity to be out in the fresh air on a beautiful 40-acre farm that surrounds our emergency shelter. Growing flowers, vegetables and herbs while growing strong in body and mind. Eating food fresh from the garden models good nutrition for kids living at our shelter, adults may participate in daily activities on the farm, should they choose, in exchange for a small stipend. We also offer other out-of-the-box activities like yoga and journaling to stretch and develop body and mind. We are a community-driven and supported organization. We believe domestic violence is a community issue. Every individual has the right to live a safe, violence-free life. Our innovative approach to survivor services has received several recent awards: +Commerce Lexington, Nonprofit Impact Award +Domesticshelters.org, Purple Ribbon Award Program/Shelter of the Year +Mary Byron Project, Celebrating Solutions Award +Kentucky Nonprofit Network, Innovative Nonprofit Award +Center for Nonprofit Excellence, Pyramid Award for Social Innovation Serving 17 central Kentucky counties: Anderson, Bourbon, Boyle, Clark, Estill, Fayette, Franklin, Garrard, Harrison, Jessamine, Lincoln, Madison, Mercer, Nicholas, Powell, Scott, and Woodford.

We are so thankful for our community!! Thank you to everyone who made a gift during the #GoodGivingChallenge and to Whitaker Bank, Inc. for their generous $5,000 in matching funds! We are grateful for the hard work of the Blue Grass Community Foundation, Smiley Pete Publishing, and all the amazing match sponsors.
The #GoodGivingChallenge continues, and the Traditional Bank Human Services Match has begun! They’re providing 50 cents per $1 match for gifts up to $250! We’re sharing how your gift will help create brighter, more stable futures for survivors and their children. 🎁 https://lnkd.in/eNjBxKVH 💜 Every survivor’s journey toward healing is different, but common goals include achieving financial independence. 🏠 Many survivors receive temporary rental and utility assistance to help them get back on their feet. Some transition to apartments in their home county, while others move into our ZeroV Homes apartments in three Lexington locations. 🌻 Our farm stipend project provides a chance for survivors to help with day-to-day tasks. Participants typically provide about 10 hours of help each week and earn $15 an hour. The experience offers nature-based healing and a little extra money to save for the future.
It’s the first official day of the #GoodGivingChallenge! The Murry Foundation has $100,000 in matching funds available to all participating organizations! 🎁 https://lnkd.in/eNjBxKVH 🏛️ We're sharing a closer look at how your gift will #SupportSurvivors with legal advocacy. Survivors of intimate partner abuse rely on the legal system for safety, custody, or property matters. Our legal advocates serve all 17 counties in our region. 💜 Alyssa, Laurie, and Stephanie are court-based advocates who stand beside survivors. Although our advocates can’t provide legal advice, they can help navigate the legal process. ⚖️ Court advocates often provide referrals to our other services and connect survivors to essentials like food and clothing.
