Domestic Violence Awareness Month is a reminder that supporting survivors is our shared responsibility. ⁠
⁠
This month, DWC staff joined community and government partners, volunteers, advocates, and service providers to connect survivors with resources that create pathways to safety, healing, and opportunity. ⁠
⁠
We're deeply grateful to our staff, whose expertise and dedication make this work possible every day, and to the many partners who stand alongside us as we work to create a safer future rooted in care and community. ⁠
⁠
This is what it means to be at DWC.

This year’s Every Woman Housed Gala was a powerful reminder of what we can accomplish when we come together to create spaces where women can find safety, healing, and a place to call home.

We’re deeply grateful to our dedicated volunteers, generous sponsors, incredible staff, and everyone who made this evening possible. Together, we raised a record-breaking $3.2 million to support women on their journeys to safety, stability, and housing.

Because a home is more than a place to live. It’s where healing begins, opportunity grows, and new possibilities take root.

It All Starts at HOME.

“We're going to see more suffering on the street.” — Myong Kim, DWC Chief Program Officer, on the impact of federal funding delays.

When housing and supportive services are at risk, people experiencing homelessness feel the consequences. We must continue investing in the programs that help women and survivors of violence find safety, stability, and a place to call home.

🎉We did it! DWC’s sponsored bill, AB 1573, which helps expand permanent supportive housing for survivors, just passed the Senate Floor and is now headed to Governor Newsom’s desk.
 
The next step is ensuring this critical legislation is signed into law. We’ll keep you updated on how you can take action and help make it happen. For today, let’s celebrate this win!
