DC SAFE

Thank you to Heather Devoto at First Home Mortgage for sponsoring our 2025 Spring Luncheon! This support helps make this gathering possible—and strengthens our efforts to build community and promote a safer DC for survivors and their families.

This April, DC SAFE led a training for educators and staff at Educare DC, focused on understanding domestic violence and supporting impacted parents and children. With 20 participants in the room, we explored how schools can create safer, more supportive environments—through policies that protect survivor confidentiality and give students space to speak up. Interested in training for your organization? Learn more at www.dcsafe.org/training.

Thank you to Michael Goldman, Greg Doran, and the team at Nixon Peabody LLP for sponsoring our Spring Luncheon! Their attorneys were instrumental in the construction of SAFE Space—helping us secure New Market Tax Credits and close the final financing gap to make the project a reality. We’re so grateful for their continued partnership!

We’re so grateful to Glazer, Honigman, and Ellick for once again sponsoring our Spring Luncheon! We appreciate their continued partnership and commitment to showing up for survivors.

We’re proud to announce a new partnership and formalized MOU with The Womens Collective Organization DC, expanding our ability to support domestic violence survivors who are HIV+ or at risk for HIV/AIDS. At DC SAFE, we believe in seeing and serving the whole person—and this partnership helps us do just that. Within just weeks of connecting, we were able to provide shelter to a survivor living with HIV and make a warm referral to The Women’s Collective for long-term care and case management.
