WEAVE was established in 1978 as a private 501(c) 3 nonprofit
organization to serve domestic violence survivors and their
families in Sacramento County. In 1988, WEAVE added services to
help survivors of sexual assault. In 2009, WEAVE became part of
the local Rescue & Restore Coalition and began providing
services to victims of human trafficking. Today WEAVE implements
a continuum of crisis intervention, therapeutic and prevention
services to meet the unique needs of survivors. WEAVE's services
include 24 hour Support & Information Line, confidential
emergency Safehouse, walk-in Triage services including a
lethality assessment, therapeutic counseling services, legal
advocacy, and youth and community prevention education programs.
The organization has grown from a small, grassroots organization
to a large, nationally recognized agency. WEAVE has been honored
for its efforts by many organizations, including the Nonprofit
Resource Center, the U.S. Department of Justice, the Governor,
the Human Rights Fair Housing Commission, the Attorney General
and the President of the United States. In 2011, WEAVE was
awarded the FBI Director's Community Leadership Award - one of
only a handful of Northern California recipients in the award's
history.
