Do you have shelter at the Rose Andom Center?

How much do your services cost?
Our services are free of charge to the victim and we do not do any type of income screening. The on-site Rose Andom Center Health Clinic is not guaranteed to be free of cost, but clinic staff will work with clients who do and do not have insurance to make their visit as low cost as possible.
English is not my first language. Can you provide services in other languages?
Yes, we can provide services in many other languages. Bi-lingual (Spanish) Resource Advocates are available every day, and we are also able to schedule in-person and over the phone interpreters in 100+ other languages.
Who can get services at Rose Andom Center?
Anyone who is seeking to understand and heal from their experience of domestic violence or find support to rebuild their lives can receive services at Rose Andom Center.
Do you provide services to male or LGBTQIA victims?
Yes, anyone who has been victimized in an intimate partner relationship is eligible for services.
Do I have to make a police report?
Although there are detectives from the Denver Police Department’s Domestic Violence Unit in the building, we do not require any victim to file a police report, nor are they pressured to do so. Services are offered voluntarily and it’s up to the survivor to decide what services they would like to utilize.
Will I be refused services because I am undocumented?
Absolutely not. We will never ask about your status nor will we refuse any services if you tell us you are undocumented. We want all survivors to have a place where they feel safe from abuse and are comfortable talking about their current situation. Everyone has a right to feel safe, regardless of status.
Will I be refused services because of what I believe or how I identify myself?
The Rose Andom Center will not discriminate based on race, age, sex, physical challenges, color, national origin, religious or political affiliation, gender expression, sexual orientation, marriage or military status.
Can you help with relocation?
While the Rose Andom Center cannot guarantee that we will be able to assist with relocation, rental assistance, or moving needs, our resource advocates can help you to determine what funding might be available to you.
What happens to my information when I speak to a member of your staff? How do I know my abuser isn’t going to track me down when I have an appointment?
All of your information you share with Rose Andom Center staff is kept confidential. All services provided by a domestic violence advocate working in a community-based program are confidential. This means that any information shared by a survivor with a staff member will be held in confidence and cannot be shared. This is a privilege protected by law. Although members of the Denver Police Department and other attorneys are on site, they cannot collect your information from Rose Andom Center records without your consent.
Limitations to Confidentiality: There are very few limitations to confidentiality and include only the reporting of known or suspected child abuse or neglect or intent to harm yourself for others. There are representatives of the police department, City Attorney, and District Attorneys’ offices on site who do not hold the same legal protection, and in some situations, may be required to share some information you disclose, if you choose to meet with them.
