Help Us Develop Safe, Affordable Housing for Survivors
How Do You Help Survivors of Domestic Violence?
You Build Them Safe New Homes…
Studies by the U.S. Conference of Mayors and by the U.S. Justice Department indicate that permanent supportive housing is the best housing alternative for survivors of domestic violence. To accomplish this, the African American Planning Commission is soliciting funds from individuals like YOU to fund all initial capital development costs. We ask for your support to help build and/or rehabilitate supportive housing for survivors of domestic violence.
You can begin by making an online donation in any amount you wish. Click here to make a secure, tax-deductible Credit Card donation. It’s fast, it’s easy, and it’s safe.
