CAAFA, a safe haven for survivors in Apache Junction and surrounding communities

providing safety and support to survivors of abuse

Founded in 1998, Community Alliance Against Family Abuse (CAAFA) is the first and only non-profit sexual and domestic abuse service provider in Northern Pinal County.

Community Alliance Against Family Abuse empowers individuals and families in the community to be free from abuse. The community learns through collaboration, prevention, and awareness. Community members founded Community Alliance Against Family Abuse in Apache Junction when they learned that local victims of domestic violence and their children were living in their cars and out in the desert. Seeing that survivors had no where else to go, they created the shelter and support services that help 470 survivors annually.

Survivors can find help with the 16-bed emergency shelter, support groups, legal advocacy, case management, sexual assault victim advocacy, food boxes, community outreach services, and more.

A New Leaf and CAAFA

As of July 1st, 2021, CAAFA is merging into A New Leaf.

As a long-standing leader in domestic violence services, A New Leaf is now operating Community Alliance Against Family Abuse’s existing programs. This partnership is a step in a new direction for both organizations and we’re excited to join forces to strengthen services for survivors in Pinal County and Eastern Maricopa County!

Community Alliance Against Family Abuse’s website and social media accounts will remain active for a short period of time while transitioning into A New Leaf. Resources for people in need are available on both websites during this transition phase.
