We are thrilled to share that Doorways has been selected as a 2021 Bezos Day 1 Families Fund award recipient! We’re proud to be among the 32 organizations across the country to be recognized by an independent advisory group of homelessness experts for making measurable progress on family homelessness in Arlington. We plan to use this generous $2.5 million investment to increase our capacity to provide high-quality, low-barrier shelter and housing to families. 

 

This grant coincides with Doorways’ current strategic initiative to determine the ideal model for sheltering families with complex needs, including survivors of domestic violence. This grant will help us bring this vision to life.

 

As we continue to help families navigate through the impacts of the pandemic, we’re especially grateful for the Day 1 Families Fund’s support, which will allow us to double down on our work to serve and provide stability for families in our community.
