Hubbard House is a not-for-profit 501(c)3 entity, established in 1976, that was the first domestic violence shelter based in Florida.

Victims of domestic violence may access Hubbard House directly through its around-the-clock hotline or through referral from law enforcement organizations, other support agencies and outreach programs.

Hubbard House offers victims of domestic violence and their children food and shelter as well as counseling and other services.

The $750,000 outreach center offers services that include adult and youth counseling, case management services, crisis intervention, advocacy, support groups for victims, and Helping At Risk Kids (HARK), a therapeutic intervention and prevention program designed to empower children from abusive homes.
