MISSION:
The District Alliance for Safe Housing (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. 

HISTORY:
In 2006, DASH was founded at a time when there were less than 50 beds in the District dedicated specifically for victims of domestic violence. Survivors with multiple barriers including mental health and addiction issues had even fewer options for safe housing. Unlike the various housing programs in the city, the vision for DASH has been to create a culture where safe housing is a right shared by everyone.

Since 2006, DASH has grown to become the city’s largest dedicated safe housing provider for survivors of domestic and sexual violence and their children.
