Any woman, regardless of age, class, education, religion, economic status or lifestyle is a potential victim of domestic violence. The mission of NEWHOUSE is to break the cycle of domestic violence by providing the tools that allow women to make positive choices and lead self-sufficient lives. Newhouse has been providing services to the “urban core” of Kansas City since 1971. In 2006, Newhouse served over 600 women and children, providing more than 17,000 nights free from violence. The typical Newhouse client comes from the lowest economic region of Kansas City, has no income and merely a high school education. For this reason, Newhouse provides services to its clients free of charge. For this MissionCast we interviewed Leslie Caplan, the Director of Newhouse. Contact info: Newhouse, P.O. Box 240019, Kansas City, MO 64124-0019, phone: 816-474-6446, Web site www.newhouseshelter.org. Send donations for this ministry to the above address.
