De Colores History
Since 1983,CPLC addressed their awareness 
of the critical need for comprehensive domestic 
violence programs in the Latino community by, 
incorporating the De Colores Domestic 
Violence Shelter. In 1986, there were only 17 
beds and the house that sheltered the program 
was located in a flood district. These circumstances prompted CPLC to relocate the shelter. 

De Colores has evolved into one of Arizona’s 
best known and most respected shelters for 
victims of domestic violence. De Colores is 
recognized in Arizona for being culturally sensitive and aware. De Colores offers both crisis 
and transitional shelter, free of charge. There 
are 24 beds, 16 on-site transitional beds, and 
24 off-site transitional beds. 

The crisis program allows a woman and her 
children to stay at the shelter and receive services for 45 to 90 days. The women and their 
children are provided with food, shelter, clothing, counseling, and other necessities free of 
charge. 

The transitional program offers crisis residents 
the opportunity to participate in an 18-month 
program that allows them the needed time to 
become self-sufficient. Participation in the 
transitional program depends on the client’s 
needs, bed space, and their desire to become 
self-sufficient.
