Safe, Accessible Housing for Survivors: The Low-Barrier Approach

Abstract

The District Alliance for Safe Housing (DASH) was founded in 2006 to provide families experiencing domestic violence with emergency and long-term safe housing, and homelessness prevention services. The organization’s mission is to be an innovator in providing access to safe housing and services to survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault and their families as they rebuild their lives on their own terms. This report summarizes findings from an evaluation conducted in 2011 as to the effectiveness of their approach.
