Laurel House is a mid-sized nonprofit based in Norristown, Pennsylvania, that serves all of Montgomery County with a comprehensive set of domestic violence services. Founded in 1980 by volunteers, the organization provides prevention education for all ages, a 24/7 crisis hotline, counseling, legal advocacy, and a nine-bedroom safe haven for women and children, along with post-shelter housing and an on-site emergency response program (DART) that collaborates with law enforcement and medical personnel. Its mission focuses on crisis intervention, safe haven, and supportive programs while pursuing broader social change through education and community collaboration to foster a coordinated response to domestic abuse. Laurel House targets individuals affected by domestic violence and works with community partners to strengthen the regional response. It positions itself within the nonprofit sector as a provider of integrated services spanning prevention, crisis support, shelter, and legal advocacy. In June 2026, it partnered with Ten7 Brewing Company and Breweries In PA to launch Laurel House Hazy Pale Ale, accompanied by a release event and fundraiser to raise awareness of domestic violence. The organization is based in Norristown and maintains a mid-sized staff.
