Doorways to Launch “SafeStart” Initiative with $1.5M Federal Community Development Grant New initiative will increase shelter and housing for survivors of abuse in Arlington Doorways is set to receive $1.5 million in federal funding for SafeStart, a new initiative to increase our shelter and housing for survivors and their families. SafeStart is one of only 15 projects sponsored by U.S. Congressman Don Beyer this fiscal year. Congressman Beyer secured funding for Doorways’ SafeStart through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, which supports community development activities to build stronger and more resilient communities. “The $1,500,000 in federal funding I secured for Doorways will support the purchase of emergency housing units for low-income individuals and families experiencing sudden homelessness due to domestic or sexual violence,” said Congressman Beyer. “Amidst the lingering impacts of COVID and rising rent costs, our community has seen an increase in survivors and families fleeing imminent danger in their homes, straining Doorways’ ability to provide crucial services to them.” As Arlington’s only provider of safehousing for individuals and families who are homeless due to fleeing domestic and sexual violence, Doorways has been on the frontlines responding to the growing need. The CDBG funding creates the opportunity for Doorways to expand our capacity to serve more survivors.
