Description
DASH is an innovator in providing access to safe housing and services for survivors of domestic and sexual violence and their families as they rebuild their lives on their own terms. We seek to strengthen and expand the local safety net for survivors by providing high quality, voluntary services that are responsive to their individual needs and by engaging lawmakers, community members, service providers, and survivors in the movement to make safe housing more accessible in the short-term and less necessary in the long-term.

Program areas at DASH

Safe Housing: dash operates a continuum of emergency-to-transitional and permanent Safe Housing programs, holistic services, and emergency financial assistance for survivors of domestic and sexual violence. Our three largest Housing programs include our cornerstone program, empowerment project, and right to dream Housing programs. Collectively in fy22, these programs provided Housing and services for 86 adults and 62 children with Safe, long-term Housing and trauma-informed services to rebuild their lives and transition to independence and Housing stability
Other programming services: other programming services include the data, impact, systems, and coaching (disc) team that support dash's data ecosystem, program systems, and evaluation. Disc strengthens data capture and reporting, builds organizational program management capacity, and strengthens trauma-informed advocacy skills by providing access to professional development opportunities through dash academy, a signature in-house training program. Under disc, dash's training & technical assistance program promotes the domestic violence (dv) informed Safe Housing model by building Safe Housing capacity in the District by working with community-based organizations and building the capacity of Housing and homelessness programs for individuals to be safe-housing programs for survivors.
Community Housing resource program: dash operates a Housing resource center to help survivors understand their Housing rights, navigate resources in the city and safety plans. Dash provides system navigators at the coordinated entry for families - the Virginia williams family resource center - where any family facing homelessness due to domestic violence can have a specialist help them navigate resources and rights. In fy 2022, dash connected 889 survivors to Housing resources, advocacy, and safety planning support; provided 211 Safe nights for 34 individuals and children through emergency hotel stays; and provided 57 survivors emergency financial assistance to prevent them from losing their home.
