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.

At Rainbow Services, we believe everyone deserves respect, love, and safety. But vital services for survivors of domestic and intimate partner violence across LA County are in jeopardy due to the nationwide cuts to the Victims of Crime Act. Like nonprofits across the U.S., Rainbow Services saw dwindling COVID-19 relief dollars and reduced charitable giving over the last two years. As a result, we are at a make-or-break moment. We need your generous investment now to keep our mission — and hope — alive. Rainbow Services is more than just a shelter. It's a beacon of safety, healing, and empowerment for thousands of survivors escaping abuse and violence each year. But the truth is, without immediate financial assistance, we will be forced to reduce vital services and turn people away when they need help the most, extinguishing the light of hope for so many survivors and their families. Help keep the light of hope burning for survivors in your community now and for future generations – click here to donatehttps://lnkd.in/gmJQgzWm #EndDomesticViolence #CABudget #VOC #VictimsofCrime #EndIPV #IPV #Community #LACounty #BreakTheCycle

Rainbow Services is celebrating Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month! This is an issue that impacts everyone – not just teens – but their parents/caregivers, teachers, friends and communities as well. Together, we can raise our community’s awareness about teen dating violence and promote the building of healthy relationships.    One in three teenagers will experience an unhealthy or abusive relationship, and only 30% of teens experiencing violence will confide in someone about their abuse.    To learn more or to get help visit RainbowServicesDV.org or email [email protected]     Thank you for making a difference in the lives of survivors and their children.
