Gulf Coast Women's Center for Non-Violence - The Gulf Coast Women's Center for Nonviolence was founded in 1977, first as a crisis line and later as a safe house,
by a group of women concerned about the safety of the victims of domestic violence. In 1978, the Center was incorporated
and began it's long history of providing shelter to victims of domestic violence. During the past 30 years, the Center
has developed into a comprehensive array of services for adult and child victims of violence: domestic violence, dating
violence, sexual assault, stalking, and family members of homicide victims.
