Aurelia Soto
Director of Advocacy
Aurelia Soto's journey with S.A.F.E. House began in 2005, when she sought safety in our emergency shelter with her young son after experiencing domestic violence. Having experienced firsthand the life-changing impact of compassionate advocacy, she returned in 2010, not as a client, but as a part-time shelter cook, determined to help others facing similar circumstances.
Driven by her deep commitment to survivors and her unwavering dedication to S.A.F.E. House's mission, Ms. Soto advanced through several roles, including Residential Facilitator and bilingual Victim Advocate, before being promoted to Director of Advocacy in 2020. Today, she leads the Advocacy Department, overseeing a team that provides crisis intervention, safety planning, court accompaniment, assistance with protection orders and other legal documents, and connections to critical resources and community services. Her personal journey from survivor to leader is a powerful testament to resilience, hope, and the transformative impact of victim services.
