Peace Place

What Peace Place does

Peace Place, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit domestic violence service organization headquartered in Winder, Georgia, founded in 2000 and serving survivors across Barrow, Banks, and Jackson counties. Its core service portfolio comprises a 16-bed emergency shelter, a 7-unit transitional housing program, legal advocacy, support groups, and case management, with an on-site pet-friendly shelter component operated in partnership with AHIMSA House. In 2025 the organization served 1,471 clients and engaged 195 volunteers who contributed 845 hours of service.

The organization is funded through a diversified nonprofit revenue stack. Disclosed 2025 inflows include approximately $234,000 in community donations and approximately $230,000 in thrift store sales, supplemented by government grants, private foundation grants, and event sponsorships whose amounts are not specified. The thrift store functions as a social-enterprise revenue channel independent of traditional fundraising cycles, and the donation base reflects sustained local community giving over 25 years of operation.

Peace Place operates with 16 listed staff within an 11-50 employee range and maintains affiliations with the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV) and the Georgia Coalition Against Domestic Violence (GCADV). The organization has announced a 2026 plan to double emergency shelter capacity, signaling a material capital and programmatic buildout for a regional DV provider with no direct competitor in its three-county service area.

Others

• National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV): National advocacy and policy organization that supports local DV programs through training, public policy, and resources. Functions as an upstream advocacy peer and resource partner rather than a direct service competitor.

Direct peers

• Harbor House: Regional domestic violence shelter serving the Columbus, GA area with emergency shelter, court advocacy, and community education. Directly comparable in scope, service mix, and rural/small-city Georgia operating context.
• Partnership Against Domestic Violence (PADV): Atlanta-based nonprofit providing emergency shelter, transitional housing, legal advocacy, and counseling for survivors of domestic violence in metro Atlanta. Most comparable direct peer given shared Georgia footprint and overlapping service array.

Broad incumbents

• Safe Horizon: Large New York-based nonprofit providing domestic violence shelters, hotlines, counseling, and legal services. Comparable services but operates at urban, multi-site scale far beyond a single regional shelter.
• YWCA of Greater Atlanta: Broader women's-services organization that includes domestic violence shelter and advocacy in metro Atlanta. Overlaps with Peace Place on DV services but operates a wider portfolio of programs.
• Georgia Coalition Against Domestic Violence (GCADV): Statewide coalition that operates Georgia's 24/7 hotline, rapid re-housing, training, and public policy advocacy. Operates in the same space across the same state at a much broader scale, and is also a referral partner of Peace Place.
• National Domestic Violence Hotline: National 24/7 crisis hotline and resource referral service for domestic violence survivors. Operates the largest hotline at national scale and overlaps Peace Place's crisis hotline function from a much larger platform.
