WRC is a mid-sized nonprofit based in Oceanside, California, serving victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. It runs an emergency shelter and a transitional housing program that supports families for up to two years as they rebuild their lives. The organization delivers a broad array of services, including free counseling, support groups, case management, emergency food and clothing, a 24-hour crisis hotline, legal assistance, court advocacy, and a sexual assault response team, with about 5,747 adults and children served each year. The group traces its origins to 1974, when five Oceanside women established a local resource to address sexual violence in North San Diego County at the request of police handling domestic violence cases. It emphasizes education and prevention to reduce violence and positions itself within the nonprofit sector as a provider of crisis response plus long-term support to empower survivors.
