Housing Resource Center		Our walk-in Domestic Violence Resource Clinic takes place every Wednesday from 1:00pm-3:30pm at the Westminster Presbyterian Church on 400 I St SW, DC (near Waterfront metro). With the DC Volunteer Lawyers Project and My Sisters Place, we provide victims access to housing assistance, legal assistance, and counseling. The Housing Resource Center (HRC) is the hub of DASH’s efforts to prevent homelessness among domestic violence survivors. We assist survivors in completing housing applications, obtaining safety transfers, navigating the public housing system, and making connections to community services. Survivors can conduct housing searches in our computer lab and work one-on-one with Housing Specialists. Our Housing Resource Center Online is a web-based information clearinghouse with comprehensive information on housing programs for women, including details on admission processes, eligibility requirements, and accessibility for people with disabilities.
