Our Story
My Sister’s House began as a community vision to create Sacramento’s first culturally responsive safe haven for Asian and Pacific Islander survivors of domestic violence. Since 2000, we have grown from a grassroots movement into a trusted organization providing shelter, advocacy, and life-changing support. Our journey reflects the strength of survivors, the power of community, and a commitment to safety for all.
"I learned a lot about self worth. The importance of self care. How to look for the warning signs in an abusive and what to stay away from. Most importantly protecting my children so they can have a healthy and peaceful life."

Visit our Cafe!
My Sister’s Café is a social enterprise that supports our mission by addressing one of the biggest hurdles preventing women from leaving their tough situations — financial freedom. The café helps domestic violence survivors not only “get back on their feet” financially, but also provides them with a safe space to learn interpersonal skills and build back their confidence.

Providing culturally responsive care is at the heart of our work. We believe every survivor deserves safety, understanding, and the opportunity to heal, rebuild, and shape their future with dignity and support.
