    No More Fear

    House of Ruth has partnered with the California Partnership to End Domestic Violence to provide survivors a new restraining order that would bar people who harm from accessing firearms.

Our Mission

House of Ruth is dedicated to preventing domestic violence and ensuring the safety and well-being of those impacted. 

Who We Are

We are a comprehensive domestic violence agency based in Southern CA; servicing the eastern Los Angeles and western San Bernardino counties. We believe every home should be a safe place and we are committed to making that belief a reality in the communities we serve. Since 1977, we have worked to end the threat of partner abuse by providing a number of housing, counseling, legal, and outreach options. Our goal for the future is to continue providing these services while increasing prevention education and spreading awareness.

Vision

House of Ruth envisions a world free of domestic violence by empowering people to thrive in healthy relationships.

Values

We believe that all people deserve to live their lives free of violence, especially in their home.
