About Confidential Shelter Locations
Domestic violence shelters intentionally keep their addresses private to protect the women inside. When you call, they will screen you and provide the address if you qualify. This is for your safety. Always call first.

Get Notified Before They're Released
If you have a restraining order or are afraid of someone who is currently in jail, California VINE lets you register for a notification the moment they are released. You'll receive a text, email, or phone call — so you're never caught off guard. It's free, confidential, and available 24/7.
Instant Alerts
Get notified by text, email, or phone call the moment custody status changes — including release, transfer, or escape.
Confidential
Your registration is private. The person in custody is never told that you signed up for notifications.
PIN Confirmation
You choose a 4-digit PIN. VINE won't stop notifying you until you confirm receipt — so you never miss a critical alert.
