Policy and Systems Change

Crafting survivor-centered policies and equipping decision-makers with data driven strategies that turn legislation into real-world protection.

Understanding the Reach and Impact of NRCDV’s Policy Work

The Policy Team at NRCDV advances a holistic, survivor‑ and community‑driven approach to domestic violence, housing and homelessness (HH), and racial inequity. We foster multi‑sector collaboration and generate actionable, participatory research that strengthens policy and improves service delivery and outcomes.

We lead advocacy and change through a refined policy agenda that:

  • Reflects survivors’ input and needs
  • Builds on solutions identified by program teams
  • Is informed by multi‑systems analysis

Housing Resource Center

Safety requires dignified and stable housing. For this reason, NRCDV operates another resource center: The National Capacity Building Center on Safe and Supportive Housing for Domestic Violence Survivors (the Center).

SAFETY ALERT:

If you are in danger, please use a safer computer and consider calling 911. The National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 / TTY 1-800-787-3224 or the StrongHearts Native Helpline at 1−844-762-8483 (call or text) are available to assist you.

NRCDV does not provide direct services (for example: shelter, legal advocacy, counseling, etc.). We support organizations who directly serve victims and survivors of domestic violence.

Please review these safety tips.
