Catholic Charities Community Center

Good Shepherd Shelter, established in 1977 in Los Angeles, is the first transitional domestic violence shelter focused on breaking the generational cycle of domestic violence. It provides individualized comprehensive trauma-informed care for mothers and children, equipping them with the tools necessary to lead stable, violence-free lives.

Rooted in a mission of advocacy and education, Good Shepherd Shelter has evolved from its origins with the Sisters of the Good Shepherd, who began offering support to at-risk young women and girls in 1904. The facility includes various essential services, including an on-site elementary school and an adult learning center, fostering healing and empowerment for families escaping domestic violence.
