Stand Up Placer is dedicated to the empowerment of Placer County survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and sex trafficking as they heal from their trauma and create lives of strength and self-sufficiency.  Incorporated in 1978, we are  the only emergency safety and support resource for some of Placer County’s most vulnerable residents: survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and sex trafficking, including their children. Domestic and sexual abuse cross all cultural and ethnic barriers.  Survivors come from all walks of life, and they range in age from infants to seniors.

Our 2026 Crisis Ready 365 initiative aims protect our community's basic well-being by ensuring that survivors have consistent access to safety, shelter, and crisis intervention at any hour.  Recent trends show a sharp increase in vulnerability and risk. Crisis line calls have risen significantly, reports of strangulation have increased by 270%, and emergency response team callouts have grown by more than 40%. Our 40 bed Safe House is frequently full, forcing reliance on hotel placements that, while safe, reduce access to onsite advocacy, peer support, and integrated services that stabilize families. Without additional capacity, vulnerable community members will face delays in reaching safety and greater risk of homelessness, ongoing violence, and long-term health impacts.

Stand Up Placer provides a comprehensive array of services that help survivors to determine and achieve their own goals. Our major services include a 24-hour crisis line, emergency safe house, emergency food and clothing, individual, family, child and group therapy, case management, legal assistance , social services and employer advocacy, assistance, and accompaniment, transitional housing program, and rapid rehousing program.  Survivors who do not require emergency shelter access services at our Roseville office.  We operate the only Rape Crisis Center and Safe House in Placer County, providing hospital accompaniment, advocacy, support and follow up for sexual assault victims through the Sexual Assault Response Team (SART) and for domestic violence victims through our Domestic Violence Emergency Response Team and Domestic Abuse Forensic Exam.
