Resource Center, 280 Broadway, Newburgh, NY

Officials from Orange County, the City of Newburgh and the New York State Assembly will join Safe Homes of Orange County in Newburgh on Monday, October 2, for a press conference at 12:00 noon to commence the observation of Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM) throughout Orange. Anticipated officials and speakers include Steven M. Neuhaus, County Executive, David M. Hoovler, District Attorney, Carl E. DuBois, County Sheriff, Darcie M. Miller, Commissioner for the Department of Social Services, and New York State Assembly persons Aileen M. Gunther, and James Skoufis.

Concurrently, The Clothesline Project, a visual display of T-shirts bearing the stories of victims and survivors of domestic violence, will be on view from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM at the Newburgh Resource and Business Center, 280 Broadway in Newburgh, Safe Homes’ headquarters. Following the official ceremony at noon, Safe Homes will host an Open House from 10:30 to 12:00 PM and 1:00 to 2:30 PM to invite the community to visit our newly expanded Family Justice Center and meet with the agency’s advocates and leadership.
Nationwide, 1-in-4 women will experience domestic violence in their lifetime. In Orange County, 22 women have been killed by intimate-partners, since 2004; one woman is still missing. “Over the course of 2016, Safe Homes’ advocates answered 3,334 hotline calls and provided 17,414 victim-advocacy services, and provided 4,879 nights of safety. This is but a numerical glimpse into the tragic reality and impact of domestic violence right here, at home in Orange County. This October, while honoring survivors and remembering those taken from us, we want to continue to focus on the responsibility of bystanders. To that end, we will appeal to various professionals, communities, businesses, and individuals to play a role in addressing domestic violence. We invite everyone to take the challenge and find their place within this movement of change,” said Kellyann Kostyal-Larrier, Safe Homes’ Executive Director.

Among other DVAM events, Safe Homes’ annual fundraising and awards dinner, The Celebration of Hope on October 20, will honor Assemblyman James Skoufis; Cornerstone Health center; Shannon Wong, Chapter Director, New York Civil Liberties Union Barron, Mauri Architects. The Celebration of Hope is sponsored by Orange & Rockland Utilities, Inc., Crystal Run Healthcare, Mediacom, Orange Regional Medical Center, KeyBank, Police Chiefs’ Association of Orange County Police Academy, Sharon Lee Henderson, M&T Bank and St. Luke’s Cornwall Hospital.

The event will be held at Anthony’s Pier 9 in Newburgh. For tickets ($125 p. guest) and information, contact Kristen Pratt, kpratt@safehomesorangecounty.org,845-562-5365 ext. 101. All proceeds benefit Safe Homes of Orange County.
