What is Lend a Hand & Voice

The founder of LAHAVC is a domestic violence survivor, LAHAVC was created to reach out to people facing similar situation, with the aim of making sure that victims and their families are able to access resources and get justice without fear of discrimination and deportation.

LAHAVC is unique in offering a continuum of care from emergency shelter through transitional-to-permanent housing to clients. Our experienced team of case managers and residential counselors provides all clients with trauma-informed and client-centered care, including clinical counseling, case management, and comprehensive supportive services. Case managers work to address the trauma that clients have endured, while providing supportive services that lead to independence and self-sufficiency. Clients create their own self-directed goals with case managers in 1:1 case consultation, because we understand that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to recovery and stabilization. LAHAVC also provides free translation services between victims of crime and law enforcement agencies, training and advocacy to engage communities and prevent violence and abuse.
