has found in this pilot project is that there are many survivors who have the ability to sustain their own housing, but they’re facing a short-term financial crisis. Maybe they don’t have enough money saved for a security deposit and first month’s rent; maybe they don’t have a way to furnish a place they’ve moved into. Maybe they have an abuser who racked up credit card debt in their name. Whatever the situation, the Survivor Resilience Fund is simply a means to get them past that first big financial hurdle and keep them in their own communities.
