District Alliance For Safe Housing Inc

Housing resources: dash operates a housing resource center that is the hub of access to our safe housing programs and community resources. Dash's dedicated intake team conducts needs assessments, supports safety planning, provides referrals and resources, and administers dash's safe nights fund and survivor resilience fund. Dash also has co-located staff at the viriginia williams family resource center (vwfrc) - the entry point for families experiencing or at risk of homelessness - to help keep survivors of domestic and sexual violence housed. In fy24, dash provided advocacy, safety planning support, and housing resources to 1,058 adult survivors and 989 children through vwfrc; 159 safe nights to 10 adults and 14 children through our safe nights fund; and flexible financial assistance through our survivor resilience fund to help 43 adults and 44 children achieve safety and address needs that might threaten their permanent housing.

Other programming and services: dash's other programming and services include the data & impact department. Data & impact ensures dash's work is grounded in evidence, aligned with strategic goals, and responsive to the needs of survivors. The team oversees data systems, drives performance measurement, supports continuous improvement, and translates insights into action across the organization.
