Transition House
About
Transition House is a Cambridge nonprofit working to end domestic violence through intervention and prevention. When it opened more than 40 years ago, it was the first domestic violence shelter on the East Coast and the second in the country. Today it offers housing resources, support services and prevention tools for people of all ages and backgrounds, and it runs a hotline that operates around the clock for anyone who needs immediate help.
The organization’s programs have grown to meet community needs, and in recent years it has built nationally groundbreaking partnerships that help families stay stable and treat violence prevention as a responsibility shared by the whole community. Its work also aims at social equity and system change to stop the perpetuation of harm. Transition House depends on donor support and on close relationships with partners in Cambridge and beyond.
