Alexandra House offers free domestic, sexual, and relationship violence services for women, men, youth, and families. Alexandra House serves the seven-county metro area—particularly Anoka, Hennepin, and Ramsey counties—though participants also come from surrounding counties, greater Minnesota, or even other states in their journey to find safety and healing. Services include 24-hour emergency shelter, legal advocacy, support groups, housing and supportive services, youth intervention and prevention services, elder abuse services, community education, and professional training.

What is Domestic Violence?

A pattern of abusive behavior that is used by one person to gain or maintain power and control over another. Domestic violence can be physical, sexual, emotional, economic, or psychological actions or threats of actions that influence another person.

What is Sexual Violence?

The use of sexual actions and words that are unwanted by and/or harmful to another person. Some of these actions are defined as crimes by Minnesota statutes. Some experiences of sexual violence are hurtful violations of personal boundaries but may not rise to the level of a crime.
