The co-pastors of the South Chicago Covenant Church started a safe home network for domestic violence survivors, and garnered the support of other committed members of the Covenant Church to purchase first a two-flat, and later a six-flat building to provide transitional housing for battered women and their children. Through WellSpring House, WellSpring staff provided counseling, advocacy, information and referrals to battered women, as well as assistance with job placement, housing, and life-skills development to enable women to establish independent households until mid-1999 | For More Information |
