Our Story

Born From a Community's Calling

Layla's House was founded by advocates who saw a critical need for accessible, compassionate resources for survivors of domestic violence and sexual abuse in our community.

Named after Layla — a survivor, an advocate, and the heart behind this mission — our organization was built on her courage and her belief that every person deserves safety, dignity, and a path forward. We believe that healing is possible, that safety is a right, and that no one should face abuse alone.

We are just getting started — and we are building something meaningful. Our focus is on connecting survivors with trusted therapists and community resources, all free of charge.
