Safe Homes started reorganizing itself for the digital world in order to bring in new talent and new audiences even before COVID hit. “We were very much looking to embrace technology and engage with our community in the broadest sense, in a slightly more dynamic and meaningful way”. Therefore, Video ART became an important tool for learning, teaching, and communicating within the Safe Homes ecosystem.
While the pandemic has been hard, the pro is it helped to drive a wider change in finding fresh stories and fresh lenses to “bring youth voices to the center of the table” by accelerating the Video ART messaging plans which helps to facilitate telling those stories with “integrity and urgency”.
Safe Homes reinvented mission is multidisciplinary in nature and include work from the performing, visual, media, design, and literary arts.
Our work and support of civic engagement, arts education, and the creative economy, can positively impact every community across the state. In addition, we continue to provide services that support Arts & Cultural Activities that create diverse connections and collaborations, and champions innovation and cultural equity.

Who We Are
Devoted to Service
Janis Clark founded Safe Homes in 1995 to answer the needs of struggling youth and families. Safe Homes expanded in 2009 to help women transitioning from military to civilian life. Safe Homes also provides services to help military service members, veterans, and their families.
Cultivating Strong, Resilient Youth
Janis Clark was inspired to minister at the Morgan Family YMCA on Pearl Street in Tacoma's Late-Night program in the winter of 1994. It was there that Ms. Clark discovered that a young lady was being molested by her mother's boyfriend. Struck with emotion, she made a commitment and Safe Homes was born shortly after. With the aid of the Brotherhood Church of God, Janis began going to schools to help youth lead strong, value-driven lives.
