Overview

Dignity for Divas supports women across the Puget Sound transition out of homelessness through the use of a self-care platform that creates pathways to success. DfD conducts outreach and case management services to women who are experiencing homelessness as well as to women who are newly housed. We cultivate an ongoing relationship with women that starts with providing essential care supplies. From there, we perform client intake and housing assessments, determine what a woman’s immediate needs are, and connect her to emergency shelters, housing facilities, counseling and medical services. DfD staff forward client information to service providers and act as a liaison ensuring women receive services. Additionally, we invite women to participate in one full-year of free monthly skill-building classes and health and wellness workshops that empower women to continue on their journey to success. This is the only program of its kind in our region. Our goal is to not just meet the survival needs of unsheltered and newly sheltered women and give them renewed hope, but to provide a continuum of care and meaningful engagement so women don’t feel alone.
