At Strategies to End Homelessness, we want survivors and those currently experiencing Domestic Violence to know: You are not alone. We stand with you and are here to help. “HUD clarifies that survivors do not need to first sleep on the streets, in a car, or in an emergency shelter (Category 1) to qualify for assistance. The act of fleeing makes them immediately eligible for homeless assistance programs.” — HUD Exchange

If you or someone you know is in immediate danger, call 911. For confidential support, call the 24/7 YWCA Domestic Violence Hotline at 513-872-9259 or text 513-436-3606. You can also visit their site YWCA Cincinnati.
