Get to Know NOA 

Est 1986

In 1986, a group of concerned citizens established the 24/7 crisis line for victims of domestic violence.  Their concerted efforts later lead to the opening of the emergency shelter in 1992.

We are the only program serving Dawson and Lumpkin Counties.

Each year NOA serves an average of 2,500 clients. In 2025, NOA served 2,781 clients and responded to over 2,500 crisis calls and sheltered 99 different people in our shelter and local motels.
