Shelter and Housing

Housing is the largest, and perhaps the most important issue, facing Sacramento County. Additionally, the difficulties finding affordable, accessible housing and shelter is amplified for victims of domestic violence who are experiencing trauma. This is the reality for so many that come to our center. In fact, 17% of those we serve report homelessness because of domestic violence. 

​
