Today is International Human Rights Day, which concludes the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence.

Yet, in the United States, more than 1 in 3 women and more than 1 in 4 men experience intimate partner violence, the CDC reports. Every 73 seconds, an American is sexually assaulted. 1 in 10 youth ages 18-25 experience homelessness each year, as do 1 in 30 children younger than 18. Together, families (33.3%) and youth and unaccompanied children (7.4%) comprise more than 40% of our country's homeless population.

For our current and future clients, Doorways envisions bright futures free of violence, in safe and stable housing.

Through the generosity of our partners and supporters like you, we help our most vulnerable neighbors survive crisis, rebuild their lives, and achieve those futures.

As the COVID crisis continues, the hardships experienced by low-income families and survivors in abusive relationships continue to grow.
