Alexandra House, Inc.

Established in 1977 we are now one of the largest domestic and sexual violence organizations in Minnesota; and the only domestic and sexual violence program in Anoka County. While located in the cities of Blaine and Anoka, we work with victims of domestic and sexual violence throughout the metro area and the State. Our services include: 24-hour emergency shelter; support groups, housing and supportive services, personal advocacy services; food shelf and basic needs; elder abuse services, youth services program; community education and professional training.

The work of Alexandra House promotes safety from domestic, sexual, and relationship violence and provides supportive services such as: helping people find affordable housing, offering violence prevention education in the schools, providing support groups, helping participants meet personal goals of obtaining a job or continuing their education—things that do provide a pathway out of poverty. Through the continuum of services we offer, we are consistently working to prevent violence from occurring and to intervene and provide meaningful, ongoing support to those who have already experienced it. This includes helping victims/survivors access basic needs while providing life-saving programming.

Primary Goals:

• Help keep individuals and families safe
• Change the perception and acceptance of domestic and sexual violence among victims, professionals, and community members
• Prevent violence from occurring, and intervene and provide meaningful, ongoing support to those who have already experienced it.
