Homeless Shelter for Women and Women with Children
In 1988, Compton Welfare Rights Organization, Inc. (C.W.R.O., Inc.) became a private nonprofit 501 C-3 community service provider with the mission of addressing the needs of the homeless. We have provided homeless women and women with children (0-10 years of age) with free emergency shelter, food and on-site supportive services for 20 years of our 37 years of community services.

Compton Welfare Rights Organization, Inc. homeless shelter is an aggressive 60 day program geared towards immediate stability (shelter) and future total self-sufficiency. Our focus is to assist our clients with shifting their mind-set from a state of crisis (homelessness), to the state of stability (shelter), and towards a life of total self-sufficiency. More importantly, we are advocates for preventing homelessness in the future. We offer realistic life solutions and resources to homeless women and women with children. The purpose is to not only offer shelter, but to empower our residents with immediate resources to educational and financial assistance while helping them to reduce and eventually eliminate their need for public assistance.

Total self-sufficiency is the order of the day for our shelter and its residents. We are determined to help our clients live a life free from public assistance by helping them discover their personal power for success.

PLEASE NOTE:
 Due to the current economic downfall, state and federal funding has either been cut or substantially reduced which has become a detriment to our shelters sustaining ability. We are in desperate need of monetary donations to help keep our organization thriving. If you have any questions on how you can help, then please feel free to call us at 310.631.5193 and ask for our Program Director, Mrs. LaCour. Please join us in the fight against homelessness in our community. It does takes a village.
