Our City Council proclaimed February National Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month in Victorville. Unfortunately, one in three teens in the U.S. will experience abuse from a romantic partner whether it’s physical, sexual, or emotional abuse.  This behavior is unacceptable.  Mayor Debra Jones presented a Proclamation to Regina Weatherspoon-Bell, Executive Director of A Better Way domestic violence shelter and praised her organization's efforts to prevent this kind of violence from happening in our community.

We are seeking community members to fill four vacant seats on our Homelessness Solutions Task Force.
