Our mission is to build healthy and safe communities by addressing the root causes and the consequences of family violence and violence against women. CPAF is committed to meeting the specific cultural and language needs of API women and their families.
Our story began in 1978, when as a result of a needs assessment conducted in six API communities, the Center for the Pacific Asian Family (CPAF) was established to provide the first multi-lingual hotline assisting API survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. CPAF became a nonprofit organization recognized nationally for its pioneering work in domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse services in the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Islander community.
In 1981, CPAF opened the first multi-lingual and multi-cultural emergency shelter in the nation that specialized in serving API survivors of domestic violence. Thereafter, in 1998, CPAF was also the first to open a multi-lingual and multi-cultural transitional housing program focusing on the needs of the API survivors who seek to establish independent, violence free lives.
