Center For The Pacific-Asian Family, Inc.

Center For The Pacific-Asian Family, Inc. (doing business as CPAF), a Los Angeles-based nonprofit specializing in culturally responsive victim services for Asian and Pacific Islander communities, operates as a prime recipient of federal grants (41% of recent awards) and as a subrecipient under state and local grantees (59%), with all work focused on violence prevention, victim advocacy, transitional housing, and support services for survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, and stalking.

CPAF's federal footprint centers on two primary grantor agencies: the Department of Justice Office on Violence Against Women (OVW), which accounts for 17 prime and sub awards; and the Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Victims of Crime, which accounts for 20 awards. The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families also funds CPAF work, with 7 awards. Recent prime awards include a $400,000 cooperative agreement from OVW's Technical Assistance Initiative (CFDA 16.526) awarded August 1, 2026, to develop and deliver training and technical assistance on sexual assault victim services under the Sexual Assault Focused Exchange of Practitioners Advancing Transitional Housing Project, supporting OVW grantees and subgrantees through July 31, 2028. CPAF also holds a $500,000 project grant from OVW's Transitional Housing Assistance Grants program (CFDA 16.736), awarded October 1, 2025, to operate the Pathway of Opportunity Toward Independence, Self-Reliance, and Economic Stability Project, providing communal transitional housing and victim-centered supportive services—including case management, economic stabilization plans, financial literacy, job training, and English as a Second Language instruction—to survivors and their families for 6 to 24 months, in collaboration with LTSC Community Development Corporation. A third representative award is a continuation project grant from OVW's Grants to Enhance Culturally Specific Services program (CFDA 20.124), dated October 1, 2024, through September 30, 2027, focused on increasing community capacity to provide culturally specific resources for victims of sexual assault and dating violence, with specific activities including community-based education, healing spaces, and culture clubs serving Asian and Pacific Islander survivors in Los Angeles County.

CPAF's work as a subrecipient represents 59% of recent awards, flowing primarily through the California Office of Emergency Services and the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority. Sub-award work includes transitional housing operations, victim advocacy and support services, sexual assault response services through the Los Angeles Sexual Assault Response Team (SART) program, and child and youth victim services. Sub-awards consistently address unserved and underserved victim populations, with emphasis on linguistically and culturally appropriate intervention.

Activity has accelerated sharply in recent years—four awards in 2022 rising to eighteen in 2024—before moderating to six in 2025 and four in 2026. Combined dollars obligated across all 49 awards total $13.8 million. Five awards face ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete opportunity. CPAF's service delivery emphasizes multilingual capacity (including services in over twenty Asian and Pacific Islander languages) and specialized expertise in serving immigrant survivors without income resources or established support networks. Performance occurs in Los Angeles, California, with service provision reaching API communities across Los Angeles County.
