At My Sister’s House (MSH), our mission is to support Asian and Pacific Islander women, children, and other underserved populations affected by domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking. We offer culturally sensitive shelter services as a vital entry point into our agency, providing immediate safety and essential support. Our focus is on creating a safe haven where women and children can rebuild their lives. Along with emergency housing, we also offer transitional housing solutions to help survivors achieve long-term stability and independence.
Founded in Sacramento in response to the lack of culturally and linguistically appropriate shelters for Asian and Pacific Islander women, MSH has since expanded its services to address the diverse needs of our clients. In addition to shelter, we provide employment advocacy, job training through our social enterprise café, case management, counseling, peer support, legal services, and a 24/7 multilingual helpline. This comprehensive, wrap-around approach ensures that survivors have the resources they need to thrive and become self-sufficient.
At MSH, we believe in empowering survivors with compassion, respect, and dignity. We customize our support to each individual, offering not only immediate relief but also the tools to build a successful future. Through partnerships with other community organizations, we strengthen our impact and create a network of care for those we serve, helping every woman, person and child who comes through our doors move toward a brighter, more independent future.
