Help us make a difference
We are thrilled to share that funding for victim services in California has been protected thanks to the dedication of our community, advocates across the state, and the leadership of Governor Newsom and the California Legislature.
This critical funding ensures that programs like Project Sanctuary can continue offering life-saving services to survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and other violent crimes—without interruption.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to:
Because of you, survivors will continue to have access to the emergency safe housing, transitional housing, crisis counseling, legal advocacy, and crisis response they deserve.
While this is a moment to celebrate, our work isn’t done. Sustainable funding and long-term investment in victim services remain crucial. Stay connected and keep raising your voice, and remember, we’re stronger together.
