About the Albany Park Safe Spaces Program

HAP has developed and is implementing a new program in the community, Albany Park Safe Spaces. Anyone experiencing violence in the community can come into a Safe Space and ask for help. They will receive a resource guide and a safe and private telephone to make a local or 800 number call. Safe Spaces participants include schools, businesses and service agencies.

Albany Park Safe Spaces program works to address many issues of violence including sexual assault, domestic violence, incest, hate crimes, child abuse, neglect, dating violence, human trafficking, immigration threat and more. In each space a community partner has been trained on these issues and on how to interact with those seeking assistance.

To kick off the program, HAP and other community partners held the first Albany Park Safe Spaces Art Walk. Some Safe Spaces had their doors open with artwork and resources inside. Community members were encouraged to come in and view art that honored survivors of violence, find out about the Safe Spaces program and receive resources and if necessary.
