While in D.C. for #OFN2025, our team visited @DC_SAFE — a nonprofit providing 24/7 crisis shelter & support for survivors of domestic violence. With BlueHub’s $1.4M loan, DC SAFE expanded with a new 30-unit SAFE Space shelter. #BlueHubImpact #DCSAFE #CDFI #DC

In this year’s DC budget, we restored funding for vital supports for survivors of domestic violence, including civil legal services through the Access to Justice Commission. I’m grateful for our local groups, like @DCCADV & @DC_SAFE who work every day to stand up for survivors.

Efficient support to survivors of diverse #GBV (domestic violence, sexual violence, physical assault…) requires availability of emergency shelter for their safety. Happy to be @DC_SAFE to learn from their experience of running a crisis shelter(strategies&policies ). @StateIVLP

Congratulations @DC_SAFE on building a crisis shelter for survivors of domestic violence and their families. @MayorBowser invested $5.7M to support the shelter and with its opening, DC now has a 24/7 crisis shelter available for domestic violence survivors.

Proud to join @DC_SAFE today to cut the ribbon on the new 24/7 shelter for survivors of domestic violence. I had Council add $$ to this critical project in 2021 - creating 30 units of emergency shelter, will serve 700+ individuals/year, & co-locates many providers under 1 roof!

@DC_SAFE serves 11,657 survivors and honors DV victims who have lost their lives. 20% cuts will result in ⬆️ fatalities. New shelter opens soon - unethical for city to not invest in operations. We are here to tell you what the need is - fund the #TrueCostofSurvivorSafety.

So far this month, you wonderful people have raised $200 for @DC_Safe, simply by coming by and playing #trivia. It’s so easy! You come here, you let the geeks at @GeeksWhoDrink ask you some questions, you buy a drink or two, and you support an amazing local non-profit.
