La Rosa is a community-based 501(c)3 non-profit organization founded in 1995 to assist families, primarily women and children, exposed to domestic violence and abuse.
Services are open to everyone regardless of race, religion, color, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, age or ethnicity.
Our Mission
To assist victims of domestic violence and abuse, to prevent future abuse, and to promote the health and safety of children by raising community awareness, empowering individuals, and offering positive alternatives to families.
Who We Serve
Our clients come from 55 different Greater Houston zip codes. About 1/2 come from the predominantly Hispanic Northside/Northeast Houston area, an area which has few community/social services close-by and readily available. This has resulted in La Rosa's role in addressing a broad range of family and individual problems both through direct service and referral to collaborating agencies and organizations.
From 1995 through 2006, La Rosa has served an average of 128 family members per week and, over the last 12 months, an average of over 180 per week.
