History of Center for Hope and Strength:
The Center for Hope and Strength, Inc. was founded by Dr. Lass. Dr. Lass aspired to serve the community of individuals affected by domestic violence through the creation of a not-for-profit 501 (c) 3 organization. The Center for Hope and Strength is a community partner with the San Diego Family Justice Center offering an expansion of supportive services to survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. In our last fiscal year, the Center for Hope and Strength team spent over 4,500 client hours (both individual and group) to encourage and empower clients. Since its founding, the Center has helped thousands of individuals reclaim their lives, self-esteem, and autonomy. Services are available to eligible victims/survivors free of charge, as made possible by the VOC and the Clare Rose Foundation funds.
