Domestic violence survivors often have long-term housing and safety needs. To keep our shelter as available as possible, DVIS also has 20 transitional housing apartments in a mixture of one, two or three bedrooms. Survivors interested in transitional housing must submit an application for review. Once accepted, survivors may live in their apartment for up to 2 years.
Transitional housing residents have access to a clubhouse, where DVIS staff office, that is home to a computer lab, food pantry, group and play rooms, and a shared living room.
Supportive care services* are also available to transitional housing residents free of charge:
- Safety planning
- Individual counseling
- Group counseling
- Case management
- Advocacy through referrals to other social service providers
- Assistance with transportation needs, such as bus tokens or passes
*Participation in services is not a requirement for housing.
We accept survivors of ALL backgrounds. This includes People of Color, low-income, LGBTQ2+, Deaf and hard of hearing, people with disabilities, documented and undocumented immigrants, and those with limited English proficiency.
