Domestic Violence Housing First Initiative

Journey Center for Safety and Healing is honored that United Way of Greater Cleveland is considering funding our proposed Domestic Violence Housing First Initiative. United Way has launched 'The Voice of the Community 2021' and is inviting the community -YOU!- to submit your feedback as a way to further inform their funding priorities.

Journey’s Domestic Violence Housing First Initiative will quickly connect domestic violence victims to stable housing, regardless of whether or not they come into Shelter. Gaining self-sufficiency away from an abuser has tremendous ripple effects throughout the survivor’s family and community. Children are no longer exposed to abuse; survivors are less like to lose their job; the health, homeless, and child welfare systems may be used less; and the generational cycle of violence and poverty is more likely to end.
