Supporting Crime Survivors
Investing in smart solutions that ensure safety and justice for all crime victims, and promote real accountability is essential to creating a safer California for all.
As the federal government dismantles lifelines of support for crime survivors, California must do everything it can to ensure victims receive the services and support they need to get back on their feet. California has just 104 domestic violence shelters. According to a recent state report, shelters served 13,000 Californians but had to turn down another 15,000 requests. 57% of American women who are unhoused say that domestic violence is the direct cause of losing their permanent home. California can help crime survivors break free from violence by providing these vital services.
