The Self Help Center Safe House of Casper, WY provides 24-hour emergency shelter to single women and women with children that have experienced domestic violence or sexual assault.

The shelter offers fully furnished one-bedroom apartment units supporting up to 20 individuals. These private apartments include basic living necessities such as open kitchen, toiletries, hygiene items, diapers, and laundry detergent. Food for those being housed is also offered.
