cafv, center against family violence began as a hotline that referred people who were victimized by domestic violence to a network of safe houses and private homes that offered shelter to them and their families.   an emergency shelter became a reality two years later. by 1983, the emergency shelter was moved to a larger facility, at an undisclosed location that it still occupies today. after the shelter was established the family resource center, battering intervention & prevention program, transitional living center and next to nuevo thrift store became apart of cafv’s effort to assist families in need.

cafv incorporated in 1977 as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization governed by a board of directors serving the tri-county area of el paso, hudspeth and culberson counties.  guiding cafv in its mission to confront and prevent domestic violence in all its forms by advocating for safety and justice through intervention, education and community collaboration is executive director, stephanie karr.  to this end, cafv addresses family needs in times of emergency and works to rebuild families by providing the needed guidance and resources to put them back on the road to a healthy recovery.
