Licensed and funded by the New York City Human Resources Administration, Athena House is a Domestic Violence, Tier II shelter that houses families referred from Domestic Violence Crisis Shelters such as Aegis. The families at Athena House may stay up to one (1) year.
Palladia recognizes that victims of domestic violence experience long lasting trauma.
