Agency Description: Casa de Esperanza was founded in 1982 to “mobilize Latinas and Latino communities to end domestic violence.” Casa de Esperanza works in ways that make sense to Latinas. Its experience has shown that when Latinas are supported, they will work in their best interest; so the agency seeks to inject information, knowledge, and access into their lives. Casa de Esperanza provides tools so that they may act on behalf of themselves and their families.

ACET services: ACET provided the planning, developmental support, and implementation of the agency’s efforts to create an infrastructure for a research and evaluation department. Marcel Montañez, Ph.D., compiled an extensive report of findings.

Date of Service: 2003-2005
