ShieldedStart is an armed moving company built for one purpose: getting domestic violence survivors and their families out safely. Every family gets a dedicated 10-person team. Security. Movers. Advocates. One coordinated operation.
Moving companies offer free moves. Security firms offer escorts. Shelters offer advocacy. Nobody offers all three at the same time.
The escape itself is where victims are most vulnerable. Abusers escalate when they sense a departure. Packing a home takes hours of exposure. ShieldedStart closes that gap with one integrated team trained specifically for high-risk domestic violence relocations.
Every ShieldedStart relocation deploys a full team dedicated to your family's safety and well-being.
Licensed, trained professionals who secure the perimeter and maintain safety throughout the entire move. They're there so you don't have to be afraid.
Fast, careful, and trained in trauma-informed service. They pack, load, transport, and unload. You focus on your family. They handle everything else.
Certified advocates who guide you through the entire process. Safety planning, emotional support, and connections to legal aid, housing, and counseling.
Dedicated transport for your belongings and your family. Planned routes, coordination with law enforcement when needed, and secure delivery to your new home.
A shelter, advocate, or law enforcement partner refers you. We conduct a confidential intake and safety assessment, then assign your dedicated team.
Your advocates work with you on timing, route planning, and coordination with local authorities. Every detail is mapped before the move begins.
Your full 10-person team arrives. Security secures the area. Movers pack and load. Advocates stay with you and your family through every moment.
You arrive at your new home. Movers unload and set up. Advocates connect you with local resources, housing support, and ongoing services. A new chapter begins.
ShieldedStart exists to change that equation. When leaving is protected, leaving becomes possible. Phoenix, Arizona.
