SUMMARY:Capital Campaign
DESCRIPTION:Capital Campaign\nBuilding A Safer Tomorrow\nBecause Healing Cannot Begin Without A Safe Home\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOur vision: No victim of domestic violence returns to an abuser because of a lack of safe housing\n\n\n\n\nWomen In Distress’ (WID) campaign\, Building A Safer Tomorrow\, will build new supportive transitional housing to provide provide housing units for survivors of domestic violence who are working through a myriad of issues related to establishing a new life free from abuse. \nWomen In Distress’ emergency shelter necessarily limits emergency housing to three months\, this beautiful new facility will be available for survivors for up to two years. Survivors will live in a safe and secure apartment community while continuing to engage with on-site therapists and advocates and other resources. In order to be truly independent\, survivors must find employment\, as financial independence will be a necessity for a life free from abuse. \nWhile survivors staying in WID’s new transitional housing units will live with autonomy\, they will be actively working a plan to establish self-sufficiency. This Includes paying rent (with a steadily declining subsidy)\, cooking\, laundry – all the skills and necessities of an autonomous life. Survivors will be offered on-site and remote services including job training\, resume writing\, credit and personal finance education\, therapeutic services\, and other needed domestic violence support services. The supportive transitional housing complex will also include space for support staff\, playground for children\, laundry facilities\, and appropriate areas for online workers. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOur Project\, Our Campaign\, Our Dream\n\n\n\n\nFor the last 50 years\, Women In Distress has developed long-lasting partnerships with donors and community organizations to help serve victims of domestic violence. To meet the needs of its current and future clients\, WID is embarking upon a capital campaign to raise funds for a transitional housing facility and programming that helps its clients build a sustainable future. \nWID will acquire multi-unit apartment style buildings in Broward County and remodel them to accommodate victims and their families who are transitioning out of its emergency shelter. These new facilities will house various programs to help families move toward independence. \nThese facilities will help Women In Distress serve hundreds of survivors every year providing much of what they need to end their experience with domestic violence and create a new life free from abuse. Operational costs to sustain programming will be supported by grants from government partners and gradually increasing rent from the participants residing in the facility. Maintenance costs will be covered by the endowment fund created during the campaign.  WID has developed an ongoing plan for sustainability that will not create a drain on resources allocated to its current operation. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo fund this project\, WID has launched a $15 million campaign\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n100% of the Board of Directors has already committed to this campaign.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhy Now?\n\n\n\n\nIt seems that the affordable housing crisis in South Florida is an almost ubiquitous topic and impacts everyone in our community. The issue is so pervasive that we can become almost numb to it. Yet\, solutions are few. We at WID can’t solve the housing crisis in South Florida\, but our agency is resolute in that we must do what we can to assist the victims we serve – some of the most vulnerable members of our community! \nKnowing that one of the most frequently cited reasons that domestic violence victims return to their abusers is financial dependence – including\, in particular\, safe housing – we know that temporary emergency shelter is not enough. Victims need a longer period of time to establish a life free of their abuser and navigate the difficult South Florida housing environment. \n\n\n\n\nCan survivors count on you? WID’s new Supportive Transitional Housing Program will make this dream a reality only if you are part of it.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo request a meeting and a tour\, please contact:\nLinda L.

We invite you to stand with us\, alongside Memorial Healthcare System\, in fostering awareness within our community. Together\, let’s further our mission to stop domestic violence abuse for everyone through intervention\, education and advocacy. \nThroughout the month of October\, our Education and Prevention team will proactively engage with the community to raise awareness about Domestic Violence. The month will be marked by a series of community workshops\, training sessions\, and the facilitation of open conversations aimed at addressing the stark reality of Domestic Violence. By diving into this tough topic\, we teach our community how to both prevent and identify instances of domestic violence. We are not only strengthening the community’s resilience but also initiating a robust prevention effort. It sends a powerful message to those who have escaped Domestic Violence relationships\, as well as those who still suffer in silence\, that they are seen and validated. Domestic Violence Awareness Month embodies our commitment to empower our community and help others in reclaiming their power and finding their way back to safety. \nSee how you can get involved in October!

is a great time for family and friends to gather\, enjoy each others company\, and give thanks to the blessings around us. This isn’t always the case for our survivors and their children. Thanksgiving can pose unique challenges for survivors of domestic violence. Often navigating through uncertain circumstances\, they may be separated from their usual support systems or facing financial constraints. \nThis holiday season\, your thoughtful contribution can create a significant impact. By donating funds\, a gift card\, or food to our Thanksgiving drive\, you’re providing more than nourishment – you’re offering comfort\, hope\, and a sense of community. Join us in standing with survivors and making this time of year a bit brighter for those who need it most. \nDownload our wish list to see how you can help a family have a great holiday![/vc_column_text][nectar_btn size=”medium” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Extra-Color-2″ icon_family=”none” text=”Download Thanksgiving Food Drive Flyer” url=”https://widbroward.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Thanksgiving-main-2.pdf”][vc_column_text]Are you a company looking to volunteer to help pack Thanksgiving meals or host a Thanksgiving donation drive?
