Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Safe House Project to roll out Simply Report across the state, announced in a press release.

The system supports over 200 languages. Victims are connected with Safe House Project's national Survivor Support Team and certified safe home network for immediate placement and long-term assistance. Missourians can access Simply Report through its website, mobile app, or helpline at 1.833.5.BESAFE.
