???A Rainbow of Thanks! ?? On Domestic Violence Awareness Month's?Day of Giving, Rainbow hosted a special event at our Community Resource Center to express our gratitude to the supporters who make our work possible. Guests explored our Community Resource Center, enjoyed delicious food and drinks, participated in an art activity?designed?to aid emotional healing, and connected with like-minded supporters. They also had the chance to hear powerful testimonials and chat with Rainbow staff about the programs and services we provide to survivors. The highlight of the evening was a moving testimonial from a past Rainbow participant and her daughter, who shared their healing journey and how Rainbow helped them find hope along the way. We are so grateful to everyone who made the evening a celebration of connection and inspiration! A special thank you to local San Pedro favorites?Rafaello Ristorante?and?Big Nick's Pizza?for their delicious donations, which brought guests together and made the evening even more special.

The Los Angeles County Domestic Violence Council (DVC) provides leadership in the creation and support of a survivor-centered, countywide, and coordinated approach to educate, prevent, and respond to domestic violence. This is a collective effort among public, private, and nonprofit agencies and more than 300 active members who participate and co-lead efforts to address and end gender-based violence.

The US Supreme Court’s decision in Grants Pass v Johnson to criminalize homelessness is a significant setback in the fight against domestic violence. Take action with Rainbow today and contact your legislators to request federal funding expansion for safe shelters - because everyone deserves respect, love & safety. #SCOTUS #GrantsPass #EndHomelessness #EndDV #EndIPV

Domestic violence is a leading cause of homelessness among women, forcing many to leave their homes to escape abuse. As members of the Greater LA Coalition on Homelessness, Rainbow works to combat this issue by providing safe housing to those fleeing violence. ? ???2024 Homeless Count Highlights by Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority: - LA County: Homelessness down by 0.27% to 75,312 people. - City of LA: Homelessness down by 2.2% to 45,252 people. - Unsheltered Homelessness: Down by 5% in the County, 10% in the City. - Permanent Housing: Up 18% with nearly 28,000 placements last year ? Rainbow was among the first agencies in California to pilot the Domestic Violence Housing First model, an evidence-based approach that supports survivors who are experiencing homelessness or housing instability as they work to maintain safe housing which minimizes their chances of falling back into homelessness; thus, lessening the impact on the DV service system. ? Let’s build on this progress and continue to work together to bring more people home and prevent homelessness for DV survivors. ? #EndHomelessness #SupportSurvivors #DomesticViolenceAwareness #LAHSA #TogetherWeCan #SafeHousing #HomelessCount2024

This morning, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a federal law prohibiting people subject to Domestic Violence Restraining Orders (DVROs) from accessing guns. Guns dramatically escalate violence when someone is harming their partner, and DVROs are critical safeguards that mandate their removal. Today's decision is a crucial protection for survivor safety, and we applaud our fellow community partners and advocates who made their voices heard on this issue. ? As leaders in the domestic violence field, Rainbow is happy to offer insight as to why this Supreme Court ruling is so important, and our Director of Operations, Marci Fukuroda, will be available for interviews for those wishing to learn more. She can be reached at [email protected] ? For more information on this ruling, please see the statement from the California Partnership to End Domestic Violence in the comments below. ? Everyone deserves respect, love & safety.
