The Downtown Women’s Center is excited to share that we received our Platinum Seal of Transparency from for yet another great year of service to women and survivors!

The revised version of the budget just came out, with no additional funding for HHAP (Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention). This funding supports services like permanent housing, rental assistance, move-in support, case management, and access centers like DWC’s Day Center.

It’s not too late to secure the funding we need but we need your help! The State Senate has already proposed $1 billion in HHAP funding. Now, we’re calling on the State Assembly to match that investment and help ensure communities across California have the resources they need to address homelessness with compassion and stability. 

Join us in urging your State Assemblymember to support sustained funding for housing and homelessness solutions.

It only takes a few minutes to take action. Visit bit.ly/SupportHHAP or click the link in bio to make your voice heard today.

At DWC, we know healing takes more than a single service. It takes trust, consistency, safe housing, mental health care, community, and time. Through our Trauma Recovery Center and holistic model of care, we support women and survivors of violence as they heal, rebuild, and move forward on their own terms.
 
Ms. Kat, shared:
“They didn’t push me. They gave me directions...everything I needed to do, they assisted me with it. That was the best thing ever...the Downtown Women’s Center in my life at that time became everything to me — became a friend, some place, somebody I could have to talk to. It really means a lot.”
 
This is the power of trauma-informed care. And this is why our work continues every day.
