Did you know that your home address could be found in public records? For someone trying to escape an abusive situation, that can be very dangerous.

In this episode, host Dean Hinton sits down with Stacy Scruggs, Program Coordinator for Tennessee's Safe at Home Address Confidentiality Program. Safe at Home is a free statewide program that gives victims of domestic violence, stalking, human trafficking, and sexual assault a confidential substitute address. That means your real address stays private — even when you sign up for school, apply for public benefits, or receive mail from the government.

Stacy explains who can apply, how the program works, and what it can and cannot do. She also shares how to get connected with the program no matter where you live in Tennessee.

Stacy has dedicated her career to helping victims of crime. In 2024, she was named a National Champion of Victims' Rights by Marsy's Law — a national honor that recognizes her outstanding work on behalf of people who have been through some of life's hardest moments.

If you are trying to stay safe and keep your address private, this episode is for you.
