This year, we celebrate a major renovation and renewal of the transitional shelter that houses our domestic violence survivors - a safe and fresh environment is critical to our clients and their healing. In the spirit of renewal, we look back and honor our earliest partner, Little Tokyo Service Center – they helped APWC open its shelter doors.
