Company History
La Casa de las Madres opened San Francisco's first domestic violence shelter for women and their children in 1976. The once-quiet shelter has grown into the city's leading voice for victims of abuse, their children and teens- educating, promoting awareness and changing the community's and the media's perceptions about domestic violence and its victims. Since 1976, 3.8 million minutes of counseling have been provided to survivors of domestic violence, 14,060 survivors of domestic violence have found refuge at our shelter and 80,000 individuals have been helped onto a path free from fear and abuse.
