Casa Ruby

Domestic Violence · California · Free

DC-based bilingual LGBTQ+ services including DV support (legacy organization). Useful for survivors whose abuser uses outing, dead-naming, or family-rejection threats as control tactics. Shelter access for LGBTQ+ survivors is available in most cities — call ahead to confirm welcoming policies. Same-sex IPV often gets mis-categorized as 'mutual combat' by police unfamiliar with abuse dynamics; LGBTQ+-trained responders fix this. All services free of charge to LGBTQ+ California residents and allies.
