This Spring, DASH was selected to partner with the Institute of Real Estate Management (IREM) Northern Virginia Chapter and their REstart program.

The REstart program is empowering individuals through education and career opportunities in real estate management. It offers training, mentoring and job placement assistance for participants whose lives have been affected by unemployment, homelessness and domestic violence.

“REstart gave me the belief that it’s never too late for new beginnings.”

We are so proud of our graduates from our Cornerstone and Empowerment Project programs who participated in REstart – 100% participation and graduation! Participants were trained in residential property management and are moving on to internships with the goal of permanent placement in long-term positions in the residential industry.

“My takeaway is being grateful, not only for this opportunity but for the wonderful peers I met. I realized I am not alone in my struggle and everyone deserves a REstart.”

Thanks to the IREM Committee for selecting DASH for this program and to the IREM mentors, hosts and sponsors for supporting the participants from DASH!
