A few things to know:
- Eligibility for specific programs, financial assistance, benefits, and community resources may vary according to program requirements, funding restrictions, geographic limitations, household circumstances, income, and other applicable criteria.
- D.I.A.R. does not require every participant to meet the same needs or utilize the same programs.
- Each stabilization plan is individualized based on the woman’s circumstances, strengths, goals, and identified barriers.

Programs Are Building Blocks. Not Boxes.
We don't fit women into programs. We build programs around women. Each stabilization plan is individualized, flexible, and designed to evolve as her circumstances change and her goals grow.
