According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV), nearly 35% of California women and 31% of California men experience intimate partner physical violence, intimate partner sexual violence and/or intimate partner stalking in their lifetimes. By any measure, those are sobering and almost unbelievable numbers. Our residential Shelter program serves as a safe-haven for individuals escaping the devastating effects of domestic violence. We offer a warm and peaceful environment, giving our clients the opportunity to heal, create stability and be empowered through a wide variety of counseling, case management and educational opportunities.

And its devastating consequences can cross generations and last a lifetime. Unfortunately the end of her particular story is a very tragic one... Biden, 30, has obvious ties to politics, but she also married a political junkie.

Residential Shelter Program

The event, hosted annually as the main source of revenue for the White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) to finance their work, will feature “Saturday Night Live” Colin Jost as a host and President Joe Biden is expected to deliver remarks. Kelly called the tax cut plan "too expensive" because it is projected to reduce revenues by $469 million a year by 2029. The governor's latest proposal would instead have a price tag of $433 million a year.

Our leaders remind us that it’s important to check in with each other, even as we’re sheltering at home and practicing responsible social distancing. In this ongoing series, TimesOC checks in with small businesses and nonprofits in Orange County during the coronavirus pandemic. “We felt like we had a pandemic within a pandemic,” Margaret Bayston, chief executive officer of Laura’s House, said in an interview a few days before the ribbon-cutting. When renovations to the new building began, all the contractors contributed in-kind items.

We offer various forms of education and see over 25,000 community members per year. A place to both donate and purchase high-quality used clothing, shoes, handbags, collectibles, antiques, paintings, furniture and other household items which proceeds from the store help fund our programs and services. Even though courts are closed, the legal advocacy component is available online, where clients can still attain restraining orders. Laura’s House also hopes to partner with other community organizations to provide the kind of training that is vital to a survivor’s independence, such as job search and interview preparation and basic finance. Other social services and law enforcement-related issues can also be addressed at the new site for Laura’s House, whose board of directors includes Orange County Sheriff Don Barnes.
