A safe place to call home can change everything. đź’ś

Thanks to our partnership with the , one of DVRC's shelter families has secured a two-bedroom affordable housing unit.

After fleeing domestic violence, this survivor—who is raising two young children on her own without family support—now has the stability and security of a permanent home where her family can begin a new chapter.

This life-changing outcome is possible because of strong community partnerships and the dedication of advocates who stand beside survivors every step of the way. A special thank you to our shelter advocates for their compassion, persistence, and unwavering support in helping this family achieve this milestone.

Together, we're helping survivors move beyond crisis and build empowered lives free from abuse.
