"EVERY DOMESTIC VIOLENCE VICTIM SHOULD HAVE ACCESS TO THE LIFESAVING SERVICES OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SHELTERS, SERVICES, AND PROGRAM. TURNING AWAY SURVIVORS AND THEIR CHILDREN CAN MEAN SENDING THEM BACK INTO VIOLENT AND DANGEROUS SITUATIONS, FORCING THEM TO CONFRONT THE CHALLENGES OF HOMELESSNESS OR PREVENTING THEM FROM GAINING ACCESS TO LEGAL OR MEDICAL RESOURCES. IT IS DEVASTATING TO SEE SHELTERS NATIONWIDE SAYING "NO" BECAUSE THEY SIMPLY LACK THE RESOURCES."
