Restorative Pathways’ Mission
To inspire and empower others by igniting passion, fostering growth, and cultivating resilience—leading with integrity, heart, and compassion to create meaningful and lasting impact.
A world where safety and trust come first. We exist to end interpersonal violence.
Restorative Pathways (formerly Ruby’s Place) was founded in 1971 in Hayward, California, and is the nation’s first shelter for survivors of domestic violence. What began as a grassroots effort by a group of determined women has grown into a comprehensive support network, dedicated to providing safety, healing, and empowerment to individuals affected by domestic violence, human trafficking, and other forms of trauma. Today, Restorative Pathways remains committed to breaking cycles of violence and creating lasting change—one survivor at a time.
A small step can change lots of lives
Our agency philosophy is built on having a strong healthy team to provide the best experience for clients in our care. We believe quality work starts with a program that is client-centered and built on trauma-informed care. We have voluntary services coupled with the intentional care of our staff for a holistic approach.
