And thanks to everyone who attended this morning. By partnering, we strengthen our community connections, work together to invest in the community, and find solutions to housing instability for survivors of domestic violence in DC. #SurvivingDC

This is why we’ve been advocating for additional $500,000 for primary prevention efforts in the @_DCHealth. It’s also why we support #FairAccess2School! #SurvivingDC

In D.C., there are currently significantly more domestic violence and sexual assault intervention programs in place than prevention programs. #SurvivingDC

Lesbian, gay or bisexual (LGB) high school students were more than 2 times more likely to report physical dating violence by the person they were dating compared to heterosexual youth. #SurvivingDC

We know that 24% of young people in DC middle and high schools report physical dating violence. This is an increase from 2015. #SurvivingDC

Great question from @TheWomensFndtn about what data do we have on young people and domestic violence and what additional research do we need? #SurvivingDC

This is why the Coalition is advocating for funding to create a Flexible Funding program that supports survivors by paying for emergency expenses to prevent homelessness and keep them safely housed. #SurvivingDC #DCValues #EndDVinDC

Access to material (yes cash) and emotional resources is imperative because access to resources can significantly decrease the likelihood of further abuse. Efforts to bolster resources to increase access to those entities are imperative. #SurvivingDC

Great questions from @anchor_fund about just how important financial support can be to break the cycle of domestic violence. #SurvivingDC

Emerging flexible funding and mobile advocacy models can play a critical role in helping survivors gain access to and maintain permanent housing. #SurvivingDC

DC’s domestic violence services must be responsive to the needs of families and provide consistent and ongoing support including economic self-sufficiency, continuous safety planning, and access to supportive services desired by survivors. #SurvivingDC

Enhancing racial and gender equity requires dismantling these intersecting systemic barriers to safe and stable housing. #SurvivingDC

In the recent women’s needs assessment survey of unaccompanied women, 75% were Black/African American. We must examine the impact racial inequity has in DC and why it leads to Black/African-American women overrepresented in DC’s homeless system. #SurvivingDC

This created the reality that DC’s severely cost burdened, extremely low-income renters are overwhelmingly people of color: 91 percent of residents in such households are African-American, and 10 percent are Latino (of any race). #SurvivingDC

DC has a long history of racial inequality, stemming from decades of discriminatory policies that denied people of color access to well-paying jobs, higher education, and opportunities to build wealth. #SurvivingDC

This is nearly 3 times what was reported in the Point-in-Time Count. DC must find trauma informed and survivor-centered approaches to addressing this epidemic. #SurvivingDC pic.twitter.com/78Jgt3XFvU

A recent needs assessment report of unaccompanied women, released in January 2018 by the Women’s Taskforce of the @District_ICH, found that nearly one-third of women indicate that violence is the cause of their homelessness or housing instability. #SurvivingDC
