October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and state leaders in Tennessee encourage victims of domestic violence, stalking, human trafficking, or any sexual offense to protect their address and protect themselves with the free Safe at Home Address Confidentiality Program.
The Safe at Home program prevents abusers from locating their victims through public records by providing approved applicants with a substitute address that may be used for legal purposes, including voter registration and government services such as a driver’s license and access to assistance programs. Anyone in the household, including children, elderly parents, and new spouses, can use this substitute address.
The first step to enrolling in the Safe at Home program is to complete an application with a partnering agency in your community. For more information about the program, participant eligibility, or becoming a partner agency, visit SafeAtHomeTN.com or call 615-253-3043.
