Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM) is held throughout the month of October as a way to promote advocacy and raise awareness to end domestic violence. During this year's Point in Time Count for San Antonio and Bexar County, 534 individuals counted in both sheltered and unsheltered conditions reported they have experienced domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault or stalking. At Close to Home we are committed to increasing awareness about resources that are available to those who are fleeing or attempting to flee Domestic violence through the homeless response system.

Understanding affordable housing solutions can be daunting, especially for those who have never faced housing stability issues. According to the San Antonio Report, the city is grappling with more than 95,000 cost-burdened households and a significant shortage of affordable homes. The SACRD team encourages you to educate yourself on San Antonio’s housing crisis and use your voice and expertise to advocate for policies that can improve the lives of our neighbors. We invite you to watch the "Everybody Needs a Home" documentary, which highlights the key intersections of the affordable housing crisis in San Antonio. https://lnkd.in/gz2gPRQN
