DVSAC Updates

                                From a recent client...

"The DVSAC was a life saver for me in a time where I needed it most severely.  I would have fallen through the cracks, lost my mind and who knows where I would be if not for that amazing Center.  Your counsel and resources were a godsend.  Pat's support groups were godsends .... her style and approach are an amazing gift to abused women.  There is a sense of comfort and clarity that you leave with each session that cannot be put into words.  It's purely felt.  Nevada County is very lucky to have all of you and the Center (DVSAC).  My hopes are that you can continue to get the funding you need to help those in need.  Because it matters and it helps more than you all may know.  Thank you so much for being that guiding light in the dark."

                                 Safe House Network

DVSAC has now started a Safe House Network due to the recent loss of our Shelter.  The Safe House Network is comprised of concerned community members offering beds and rooms in their own homes.
