Good Shepherd Shelter, established in 1977 as the first transitional domestic violence shelter in Los Angeles, is dedicated to breaking the generational cycle of domestic violence. The organization provides individualized comprehensive trauma-informed care to mothers and children escaping domestic violence, fostering healing and stability through a range of supportive programs.

Rooted in a mission that began with the Sisters of the Good Shepherd in 1904, Good Shepherd Shelter combines advocacy, education, and direct services to empower families and raise community awareness. By offering unique resources such as an on-site elementary school and adult learning center, the shelter aims to cultivate dignity, independence, and potential for those it serves.
