Why The DOT House Was Created
Why The DOT House, Inc Exists
Far too many women fall through the cracks before they ever qualify for traditional assistance. Housing instability often begins long before someone is sleeping on the street.
A woman may be living in a hotel after losing her apartment, sleeping in her vehicle, moving from couch to couch, or remaining in an unsafe environment simply because she has nowhere else to go.
The DOT House was created to recognize these hidden realities and respond with compassion, practical support, and meaningful partnerships that help women regain stability.
