Who can apply
['The provider describes shelter and support for women, children and families and services for survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse and trafficking. Eligibility and availability depend on the service.']What help is available
Published services include shelter, therapy, case management, housing and employment support. Its campus brochure describes a planned relocation; that brochure alone does not establish the current shelter entrance.
Documents to prepare
If it is safe, describe your immediate need and ask how to contact intake privately. Ask which records are needed without delaying a request for help. Use a safe device and callback method when another person monitors communications.
How to get started
Use the provider website or call its published administrative contact, 661-322-9199, to confirm the appropriate intake contact. For immediate danger or a medical emergency, call 911.
After applying
Confirm the actual service location before travelling and do not assume the proposed campus is open. Ask staff about a safe next step and alternative placement if the requested service is unavailable.

Common questions
Is the administrative number a verified 24-hour crisis line?
No. This guide has verified it as an administrative contact only.
Should I travel to the new campus listed in the brochure?
Confirm first. The brochure describes a planned relocation and does not verify current intake there.
Does the organization provide more than shelter?
Its brochure also describes therapy, case management, housing and employment services.
What if communicating puts me at risk?
Use a safe contact method when possible and tell intake how it can safely reach you. Call 911 for immediate danger.
