The Next Step Program is referral-based only for existing clients

The Next Step Program fosters the economic empowerment and self-sufficiency of survivors of domestic violence. We guide survivors in identifying their barriers to safety and independence and implementing strategies to overcome those barriers. We assist survivors with meeting their educational and vocational needs. As one survivor stated: “At Next Step graduation time, all that stood between me and a job was $90 for a pair of regulation shoes – Hope’s Door provided that and I’m on my way.”
