OUR PURPOSEOur Processes
Our program consisted of two (advocates) in 2022, we have since grown to seven (7) employee’s. We were able to open our women’s and children shelter (Laura’s House,) which has been closed since 2020 due to the pandemic.
Laura’s House is named after Laura June Barea, Sr. On October 30th, 2013 the Omaha tribal council passed a unanimous vote, “Laura’s House” named after Laura Barea, Sr. who dedicated her time and effort to ending Domestic Violence/sexual assault/ and teen dating violence on the Omaha Reservation.
Laura’s House is a shelter for DV/SA survivors and their children who are seeking safety from domestic violence and need a safe environment. Upon completion of intake packet and reading policies and procedures handbook, client may opt to stay in the safe house or seek shelter elsewhere. We do provide transportation. Laura’s House comes with all amenities to be safe and comfortable.
