Finex House Inc.

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.
