Dwelling Place Anaheim has been made aware of a recently filed civil lawsuit concerning allegations of sexual abuse said to have occurred many years ago, prior to the tenure of our current leadership.

While we are unable to comment on the specifics of ongoing legal proceedings, we do not take such matters lightly. We understand that any allegation of sexual abuse carries deep weight and pain — for those directly involved, for survivors of trauma in the wider community, and for those who hear it.

We remain deeply committed to safeguarding children, youth, and vulnerable adults with clear procedures, training, and accountability in place to ensure their protection. We support every effort by law enforcement to investigate and prosecute sexual abusers and encourage anyone who may have experienced or witnessed abuse to contact local law enforcement.
