Vision

The vision of the Right Response Collaborative is that within the City of Los Angeles, victims/survivors of domestic and sexual violence who have disabilities or who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing will receive timely, effective, and seamless responses from criminal justice and community-based agencies that are physically and attitudinally accessible and provide full and effective communication access in an atmosphere of dignity and respect.

Mission

The mission of the Right Response Collaboration is to work together to promote an integrated continuum of physically and attitudinally accessible services for victims/survivors of domestic and/or sexual violence who are Deaf/hard of hearing or who have disabilities by:

  1. Promoting collaboration and increasing knowledge and resource sharing among community-based agencies and law enforcement.
  2. Enhancing the existing service system through establishment of policies and procedures that increase accessibility, responsiveness and support for victims/survivors who are Deaf/hard of hearing or who have a physical disability and reflect an understanding of the challenges and needs of survivors.
  3. Supporting accountability and responsibility of community based organizations, law enforcement and prosecution as an integral part of the continuum of services.
