Safe Nights Fund Launch

June 1 - July 16

DASH is launching a new initiative called the Safe Nights Fund. Emergency shelters are chronically full due to COVID-19, forcing families to choose between homelessness or staying in a violent home. We are addressing this crisis by launching a Safe Nights Fund to safely house families with a hotel stay and support services.  Make a donation today to help us meet our $5,000 goal.
