Personalized Support Every Step of the Way

If you're experiencing intimate partner violence, domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, family abuse, or human trafficking, you don't have to face it alone. Hilltop's Latimer House provides free, confidential community-based case management and victim advocacy to help individuals and families throughout Western Colorado move toward safety, independence, and a life free from violence.

Community-Based Support

Our advocates provide ongoing, personalized support to help you understand your options, connect with community resources, and build a plan that reflects your goals, needs, and circumstances.

Advocacy for Survivors

All services available to individuals experiencing intimate partner violence are also available to survivors of sexual assault. We provide compassionate victim advocacy, emotional support, referrals, and guidance throughout the healing process.

Medical & Community Connections

Our advocates can arrange transportation and accompaniment to Sexual Assault Nurse Examinations (SANEs), Sexual Assault Forensic Examinations (SAFEs), medical appointments, and other community services to ensure you receive the care and support you need.

Safety Planning, Education & Healthy Relationships

Understanding abuse is an important step toward breaking the cycle of violence. Our advocates provide one-on-one and group education about domestic violence, intimate partner violence, sexual assault, stalking, family abuse, human trafficking, healthy relationships, warning signs of abuse, trauma, and strategies for staying safe.

Through personalized safety planning and practical education, we help individuals make informed decisions and build the confidence needed to move toward a safer future.

Housing Assistance & Community Resources

Stable housing is often a critical step toward long-term safety. Our advocates help individuals identify housing options, complete applications, connect with housing assistance programs, and access financial resources such as rental assistance, security deposits, utility assistance, vouchers, and essential household items.

We also connect survivors with employment services, healthcare providers, counseling, financial assistance, childcare resources, transportation, and other community services throughout Mesa, Montrose, Delta, and Ouray counties.

Legal Advocacy & Court Support

Navigating the legal system can feel overwhelming. Our advocates provide information, emotional support, court accompaniment, and referrals to legal resources to help survivors understand their rights and options.

We assist with protection orders, victim rights information, safety planning related to court proceedings, and referrals for legal matters such as divorce, parenting issues, child custody, and other civil legal concerns.
