I’m just going to come out and say it; the Domestic Violence Resource Center saved my life. My daughter Hannah and I have lived in the Domestic Violence Resource Center’s Emergency Shelter and both of the Domestic Violence Resource Center’s Transitional Housing facilities. Thanks to the Domestic Violence Resource Center’s support I’m now able to provide a safe home for my family.

At NV Energy, we believe that strong families create strong communities. The Domestic Violence Resource Center’s work in providing safe shelter and long-term transitional housing goes a long way in creating self-sufficiency for the families they serve. We commend the Domestic Violence Resource Center for continuing to raise the bar in developing innovative and sustainable programs that help families in Washoe County create new possibilities for themselves now and for the future. We look forward to many more years of our collaborative partnership.

On behalf of the Nevada Coalition to End Domestic and Sexual Violence, I want to say thank you to the Domestic Violence Resource Center. To the many staff, volunteers, and board members both past and present for the work they have done to ensure that survivors of domestic violence have access to safety and support services yesterday, today and tomorrow.
