While the CCPA's work is focused on progressive policies that will help protect workers and their families during this difficult time, we have received many requests from workers and renters looking for resources to help them navigate uncertainty during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Survivors of Domestic Violence

From Draw the Line: Many survivors of violence are most at-risk in their own homes⁠.

It is a complicated and unprecedented situation, when “Self-Isolating at Home” is both the primary advice for our health crisis, yet the most common location of harassment, violence and lethality for women and children experiencing and or at risk of gender-based violence⁠.
