24-HOUR EMERGENCY SHELTER

Turning Point provides Macomb County’s only emergency shelter for victims/survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. Our shelter, housed in a non-disclosed location, offers safety to residents while providing them with the resources necessary to regain control of their lives.

During their stay at the shelter, residents and their children are assisted in developing and accomplishing their goals and are connected with community resources. Each resident works with a case manager to develop an individualized plan outlining the goals they wish to accomplish during their shelter stay. Case managers are able to assist the residents with obtaining necessary resources, including finding permanent housing, transportation, and employment, needed to regain control of their lives. Support groups and counseling services are also provided to residents in shelter.

Children staying in our shelter also participate in counseling programs and support groups, where they have the opportunity to talk about feelings, learn to resolve conflicts and develop a safety plan. During the summer months, a day camp is offered for the children in shelter, which offers age-appropriate activities including visiting zoos, parks, or sporting events. The children also have time for games, crafts, and computers.

Being in a shelter is never like being in your own home, but the staff and volunteers at Turning Point are committed to making the facility as comfortable as possible.

The shelter can be accessed through our 24-hour crisis line at (586) 463-6990.
