Next Door Solutions to Domestic Violence

San Jose, CA USA
Next Door, started in 1974, is the oldest and most comprehensive agency in Santa Clara County dedicated to helping domestic violence victims. Its emergency shelter was the first bilingual shelter in the country. I became involved as a board member 4+ years ago and have been impressed every day since. Programs for kids and teens are outstanding. Multi-lingual victims approaching the court system couldn't get a better advocate and guide.
The Great!
- If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could... lead the effort to stamp out domestic violence in Santa Clara County today ... and for all time.
Ways to make it better!
- In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are... reaching more victims with the message that help is a hot-line call away; getting more members of the community aware of the prevalence of domestic violence and the negative ripple effect it has on all of us -- it's not a "private matter" that can be ignored.
