The Beaman Home offers safe shelter for those affected by domestic violence and abuse

History of The Beaman Home

Kosciusko County Shelter for Abuse, Inc. (better known as The Beaman Home) was founded by Altrusa International of Warsaw, Club members identified Kosciusko County domestic violence victims had no place to go to make a fresh start when escaping their abusive relationship. The nearest emergency shelter was over an hour away, and the distance made leaving seem impossible to many victims.

With a lot of faith, a home donated by N. Charlene Bradbury, and the help of community leaders and volunteers, Beaman Home welcomed its first battered woman on July 1, 1985.

Today, trained staff and volunteers annually provide assistance to approximately 350 domestic violence victims from Kosciusko, Marshall, and Fulton Counties. More than 50% of the victims we serve are children who enter our programs with their abused parent. Over the years, we have expanded our services to better meet the needs of our community’s victims. Now, comprehensive domestic violence services include the Beaman Home Emergency Housing, Nonresidential Program, and the Basic Needs Center, Mary Ann's Place.

Beaman Home strives to provide quality service when meeting the needs of our community’s victimized families. We recognize the complex needs of victims and their children and have established a network of community partners to draw upon our community's resources to help families heal and move forward after abuse.
