Becky’s House^® is the name of a domestic violence program of YWCA of San Diego County and refers to our emergency shelter services for survivors.

YWCA opened our emergency shelter in 1978 and renamed the program to Becky’s House^® in 1999, in honor of a survivor who called the local Jeff and Jer radio show for help. “Becky” was trapped in an abusive relationship and feared for her life. Her call inspired an outpouring of community support that raised funds to help her safely escape and begin a new life.
