This has been a year like I’ve never seen. I’m sure I’m not alone in that. There have been sad moments and scary moments and moments that I find difficult to put into words. But there have also been so many grateful moments. So many.

I’m grateful that the survivors and families at DASH are healthy and housed.

I’m grateful for my staff, who continue to show amazing creativity, responsiveness, and grace in the face of unprecedented challenges.

I’m grateful to you for keeping DASH open and agile when everything was shutting down and all was uncertain. 

I understand that DASH is only possible because of our community of supporters — each and every one of you — who step up time and time again to extend generosity and love to individuals and families you will never meet.

Housing means safety. And at a time when it has never been riskier to be unhoused or unsafely housed, thank you for digging deep and doing more than ever before. 

For you, I’m am grateful.

With our thanks for all you have done for us,

The DASH Family
