Notes:

Finex House is a battered women's shelter for battered
women and their children who have disabilities. We are
wheelchair accessible with two concrete ramps and an
internal lift. Finex House also has a light coded signal
system for deaf battered women and their children. Finex
House is an equal opportunity service provider and therefore,
people of color and those who have disabilities as well as
others are strongly encouraged to call for services. Three
formerly abused women incorporated Finex House in 1983. Our m
otto is; "I Belong to No One." Our mission is to provide
shelter and services for all battered women and consequently
we have provided outreach to those who have dropped through
the cracks of existing service providers. Accordingly, Finex
House provides emergency shelter and a comprehensive array
of services for the most vulnerable of battered women,
particularly for those who have disabilities.

A few of the services provided by Finex House are as follows:
*Wheelchair Accessibility
*Emergency Safe Shelter with 32 beds
*24 hr Hotline 617-288-1054
*Attorneys to go with battered women to court
*Housing Advocacy
*Crisis Intervention
*Emergency Response Services
*Special Needs Advice
*Child Advocacy and Support Programs (CASP)
*9 housing vouchers for those families we shelter
*Shelter Plus After Care Programs (S+P)
*Sign Language, Spanish, Cambodian and Haitian Creole
*Outreach and services for the Deaf
*Self Esteem Groups
*Three different types of Parenting Groups
*Two types of mental health therapy
*Help with moving
*Trauma Support and Counseling
*Day Care
*Substance Abuse Counseling
*Rehabilitative Therapy
*Elder services
*AA groups
*and much more I

In addition, Finex House has developed "Escape-A Handbook for
Battered Women Who Have Disabilities"
