One of the organization’s community support programs is called HELP ROADS, which stands for Reaching Out to Advocate for Domestic Abuse Survivors. Regarded as one of the leading causes of homelessness in the country, domestic violence has impacted approximately 50 percent of women who live on the streets. In addition to operating an emergency hotline, HELP ROADS provides bilingual support and resources to help domestic violence survivors throughout Brooklyn find new housing and employment. The program also advocates for survivors as they interact with police and the legal system and helps connect abused women with support groups and individual counseling to begin the healing process. The HELP ROADS hotline can be reached by dialing 718-922-7980.
