Volunteers are essential to effective dv legal advocacy in domestic violence shelter and safe housing services. Providing emergency safe housing and comprehensive support services for domestic violence survivors and their children including shelter, counseling, legal advocacy, safety planning, and economic empowerment.

Why It Matters
