Committee to Aid Abused Women

The Domestic Violence Resource Center, formerly known as the Committee to Aid Abused Women (CAAW), is a non-profit organization based in Reno, Nevada, dedicated to supporting victims of domestic violence. Founded in 1977, the organization provides a comprehensive suite of services including a 24-hour crisis hotline, emergency shelter, and transitional housing. They also offer legal advocacy, support groups, and community education programs aimed at preventing domestic abuse and supporting survivor recovery. As a healthcare-adjacent service provider, they focus on trauma-informed care and the long-term mental health of survivors. The organization rebranded in 2017 to better reflect its broad range of resource-based services and its role as a community hub for safety.
