Domestic Violence Awareness Month: How CRC is Addressing Domestic Violence

Thank you for raising awareness this month and for showing your support on Purple Thursday. At CRC, survivors find safety, healing and paths to stability through our emergency shelter, housing, counseling, case management, Therapeutic Children’s Center, legal advocacy and more. We also prevent violence through our advocate training and community workshops.

Coast News Op-Ed: Stand with Survivors, Invest in Prevention

Safety, housing and dignity are deeply connected. Survivors can’t heal without stable homes, and prevention takes all of us – neighbors, schools, businesses and local leaders. Read our recent op-ed in The Coast News.

A Community Wrapped in Care

Last month, our volunteers, staff and clients arrived at CRC to discover our front tree wrapped in a handmade knitted quilt, a beautiful “tree hug” stitched together by anonymous neighbors. See John Van Cleef’s message and video in this month's CEO blog.
