Embracing Change | Empowering Communities

Bringing joy to families through the generous support of donors and volunteers.

Dear friends,

Mujeres Market Empowering survivors with the opportunity to become small business owners and a place to showcase their work.

World Aids Day Legislative Advocacy Day A team of Promotoras Contra La Violencia traveled to Sacramento to advocate for legislation to improve the quality of life for vulnerable communities disproportionately affected by health, education, and immigration inequities.

Building awareness with community presentations and testing to prevent HIV.

I’ve noticed the seeds of change often take root in the dreams of survivors yearning to start over. Yet, for many who have faced multiple traumas and marginalization, the daily struggle to stay housed and care for their children can be overwhelming. At ELAWC, we understand these challenges.

We offer survivors a place where, with resources, support, and renewed confidence, they are empowered to build pathways to stability and security.

ELAWC embraces change by continually modifying our approach and programs to align with the evolving needs of our community. For example, our Restorative Justice program prioritizes accountability over punishment to prevent future harm and foster family healing, while our Economic Pathways program empowers survivors to achieve self-sufficiency. Our new headquarters stands as a testament to this progress, symbolizing the growth and positive impact of ELAWC. One thing that doesn’t change, however, is our unwavering commitment to uplifting and empowering survivors and their families. Everyday, I give thanks to the staff, volunteers and Promotoras for their commitment to making people’s lives matter and improving the quality of life for families.

And I am deeply grateful for the generosity of our donors.

Your support empowers us to create positive change in our communities — so dreams of brighter futures can take root and flourish. Thank you!

Project Heal is a culturally responsive initiative addressing generational trauma and fostering healthy family dynamics. Launched in 2020 as a four-year demonstration project*, this innovative program aims to prevent future generational family violence through trauma-informed methods.

Project Heal supports non-abusing parents and children exposed to domestic and family violence and abuse in the home. The group-based program strengthens parenting skills by teaching non-abusing parents how to effectively communicate and set age-appropriate expectations for their children.

Families enrolled in Project Heal report significant improvements in their daily lives including:

• Stronger, more positive relationships with their children • Enhanced skills to reduce family stress and prevent or interrupt family violence • Development of lasting, supportive connections among participating families • Improved overall family wellbeing, reducing the risk of family violence Project Heal's measurable success led LA County Supervisor Hilda L. Solis to invest in its continuation with a generous $250,000 Community Programs grant. This support, combined with other funding, allows Project Heal to extend its impact and pave the way to help families and communities live free from generational trauma and family violence. * Funded by the Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families.

ELAWC will publish a final evaluation of the program in 2025.

Today, Elvira is taking her independence one step further by launching her own small business as a licensed street vendor.

Meanwhile, her daughter has graduated from high school and has begun her college journey. They are proud of the promising life they are building together.

Seeking Safety ELAWC is one of the first organizations in the country to address the relationship between intimate partner violence and HIV/ AIDS among Latinx women. Despite advancements in treatment and prevention, Latinx women remain disproportionately affected by HIV/ AIDS due to cultural and healthcare access barriers. Survivors are less likely to practice safe sex and often fail to continue antiretroviral therapy, compounding the risk.

Restorative Justice Program | Voz y Palabra Restorative Justice, a transformational, community-based approach, focuses on accountability rather than punishment to break the cycle of violence within families experiencing domestic violence.

ELAWC's Restorative Justice Project, in collaboration with the National Compadres Network, facilitates a safe environment for dialogue, reflection, repair, healing, and rebuilding healthy relationships.

Drawing on indigenous roots, the process builds on the sacredness of circles and welcomes community members to the circle as a tool for transformation.

Participants who have caused harm explore what is needed to heal and prevent future harm.

Survivors are invited to be present and participate in the process only if they feel safe and willing.

By rebuilding trust and cultivating an environment of understanding, accountability, and restoration, families can find healing, strength, and transformation.

transform a 10,000 sq. ft. building into a haven of hope and healing for survivors and families and to serve as a vital resource hub for the community.

To fund the renovations for our new headquarters, we launched Forever Home, a five-year capital campaign to raise $4.3 million.

Through the incredible generosity of lead donors, our new home is nearing completion. But there is more work to do.

We have raised $2.4 million to complete major building renovations.

However, we still need to raise an additional $600,000 to complete the work and open our new headquarters to the public.

The final finishes on our Forever Home need your help. With your continued support we will:

• Furnish all the rooms to create a welcoming, healing environment.

• Equip the facility with the necessary tools and technology.

• Complete exterior landscaping and finishes to create an inviting facade, elevating the community.

We can't wait to open our doors and share the beauty and joy of our Forever Home with you.

I am inspired by the heart and soul my colleagues infuse into their work and the profound trust survivors and our community place in ELAWC. Ruth joined ELAWC in 2018 as Coordinator of Wellness Programs after serving as a volunteer. Today, she oversees a range of critical services for survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, and human trafficking. Her responsibilities include coordinating care, training medical providers, and actively participating in the DV and SA task force at Los Angeles General Medical Center.

“I truly love being part of a client’s healing journey — to witness the emotional and mental growth as they find solutions through services and resources. And I am inspired by our passionate staff, who are driven to help others and bring awareness to the community every day. We bring hope in a time of darkness…we are a light.”

Zulibeth Inda-Lara | 6 years Victim Advocate

The youth program transformed the way I think about domestic violence, consent, and healthy relationships. It helped shape the relationships in my life. I am inspired by seeing the process of growing and learning, for myself and others ~ and how ELAWC continuously supports the community in so many different ways.

"My passion stems from the healing of our community. We honor our culture and traditions when we bring healing to women who raise our next generations. Bringing awareness to trauma, substance abuse, and mental health gives our community a voice to know they are heard — and that is my ultimate goal!"

In loving memory of our beloved Promotora Alicia Bautista and her son who both lost their lives in 2023. We embrace her family and all the Promotoras and staff who were close to this very vibrant and beautiful soul.
