La Casa de Paz
Shelter service opened in 1986. The facility is the only domestic violence shelter of its kind in Western
Pinal County. The goals of La Casa de Paz are to provide safety, stabilization, basic needs, guidance and counseling
to families in need. Women are assisted with exploring choices and alternatives to domestic violence. Through
advocacy and case management, staff assist members with locating appropriate providers of legal, medical, vocational, educational
and/or other human services.
Members who are ready to leave the shelter, but are not quite ready to set up independent living may qualify
for the transitional housing programs, Tres Casitas. There are 7 homes of various sizes to meet the needs of our client
members.
- Emergency shelter services for victims of domestic violence, and their dependent children,
- Tres Casitas transitional housing,
- Outpatient counseling, community case management and legal advocacy,
- Animal Safe Home Network.

- When there is violence in the home, it's important to have an emergency plan for sheltering yourself, your children and
your pets,
- No one should feel they are unable to leave a violent situation. There is help if the safety of a pet is preventing
you from leaving.
We are in need of volunteers who love animals.
To volunteer as an animal safe home, please contact the Volunteer Coordinator at: (520) 836-0858 or
