Answering service attendants are uninformed and unhelpful. The services are scarce and ineffective. This place works hand in hand with other major “non profits” posing to help women, specifically. The truth is that they support and enforce punitive systems which do more protect abusers than to help women or their children. The current state of women's rights is not ok and this organization is not pushing for change but rather falling back. They cherry pick who they help.

I’m not satisfied. The Staff has been incredibly short, and rude on the phone. They advertise they have a crisis support line but get an attitude and tell you you have to come in person to receive services, when that line is advertised as and supposed to be for emergency support, crisis support and counseling. Just the same old story of a non profit further traumatizing the community they are supposed to help. And yes I’m Latina. They don’t seem to want to provide the services. The staff don’t seem trauma informed. I would not recommend. I feel like I was overlooked & dissatisfied the 3-4 times I called and realized they are playing games, wasting my time, not helping, not being helpful, etc.

I am beyond disappointed with this sham of a shelter. I've worked with other shelters before as a volunteer, and had high hopes for this one. I am devastated that ANYONE can try to represent victims and offer non existent help to these women in need. This place took it to the next level. Supporting the abusers, accepting money from them that never EVER went to any victims unless to give them nearly more unfit living conditions than they had the courage to run away from. Pathetic.

Be advised, when directed yourself through Google maps you will be shown the back entrance of this organization. So, make sure that you are not trying to enter on the Tehama street as shown on Google Maps.

I stayed here for a month when I had to leave an abusive situation.
I wasn’t given any advice or assistance nobody spoke with me or any kind of support for four weeks!!! The staff was mostly rude and I even had to lift up a heavy suitcase several staircases although I was pregnant. The food was atrocious and I lost a lot of weight. I’m glad that I could stay here but more could have been done. I was being made feel like a burden or imposter.
Looking back it was traumatizing to stay here after what I went through. Up to this day I haven’t reported my ex to the police because I never had any support.

I remember living here as a kid. This program was a life saver for my mom, brothers and I. When I was 8 or 9 they arranged for our family to move to Los Angeles to start a new life at another DV Shelter. This was nearly 20 years ago. If it weren't for this program and similar programs, we wouldn't have had the opportunity so have a start fresh. I remember the staff being to compassionate and caring. They really went above and beyond for our family.

Extremely professional but primarily what I enjoyed was their empathic nature. They are a very caring staff, root you on, genuinely concern themselves with your well being but also demand of you to be accountable and meet them halfway. Absolutely great organization!

Unfortunately….. of late they are only helping Hispanic women only. Really sad in this era of women violence in San Francisco
