Introducing Safe Stays+: A Game-Changer for Social Service Providers Booking Emergency Hotel Stays

July 2, 2025

Supporting families in crisis shouldn’t come with financial surprises. That’s why we built Safe Stays+.

Across the United States, social service agencies are turning to hotels as emergency shelter options for survivors of domestic violence, human trafficking, natural disasters, and homelessness. But with that flexibility comes a persistent challenge: unexpected hotel charges that stretch already-tight budgets and delay services.


First, a Quick Refresher: What is Safe Stays?

Safe Stays is a hotel booking platform designed specifically for social service providers. It allows agencies to book safe, anonymous hotel stays for clients in crisis—with no credit card and no ID required at check-in. That means clients can access emergency shelter when they need it most, and agencies can streamline the process without logistical red tape.

From rural domestic violence shelters to large urban housing programs, hundreds of agencies nationwide trust Safe Stays to place clients quickly, safely, and discreetly.

The Problem: Surprise Hotel Fees Are Draining Budgets

While hotel stays offer essential flexibility, many agencies face a recurring headache: surprise fees.

  • You place a client through your hotel program.
  • The stay seems fine—until a week or two later.
  • You’re hit with fees for linen damage, smoking, or extra cleaning—costs you didn’t anticipate, can’t budget for, and often can’t dispute.

These fees are frustrating, unpredictable, and often make hotel-based shelter models feel unsustainable.

Our Solution: Peace of Mind for $15.79/Night

Enter Safe Stays+, our new optional protection plan that adds predictability to every hotel night.

For just $15.79 per night, Safe Stays+ covers the most common hotel damage-related charges:

  • 🛏️ Linen damage
  • 🚭 Smoking-related incidents
  • 🧼 Extra cleaning fees

You pay one flat nightly rate, and that’s it. No itemized breakdowns. No billing surprises. Just simple, all-inclusive pricing that helps your agency stay focused on the people you serve.


Why Safe Stays+ Matters for Your Agency

If you’re working in housing-first programs, child welfare services, or domestic violence response, Safe Stays+ was built for you. It helps:

  • Prevent budget overruns caused by unpredictable hotel fees
  • Simplify financial reporting with fixed nightly costs
  • Strengthen hotel partnerships through clearer expectations
  • Ensure client access remains barrier-free (no ID or credit card needed at check-in)
  • Save staff time resolving invoice disputes

When combined with the core benefits of Safe Stays—fast hotel placements, trauma-informed policies, and no-barrier check-ins—Safe Stays+ makes emergency housing even more sustainable.
