The Harris County Domestic Violence Coordinating Council (HCDVCC) exists to create efforts that increase access to services and safety for victims of domestic violence and minimize the challenges in accessing those systems. HCDVCC determined that the best way to meet its mission to build formal collaborations that effect systemic change is through understanding and improving how the each of the systems work to enhance safety for victims of domestic violence; this includes streamlining the process for families fleeing from domestic violence to enter into safe, stable, and affordable housing options and increasing our community’s housing inventory. HCDVCC ‘s sole interest is working to create collaborative partnerships and fill service gaps to increase safety and effect positive change. The housing projects create community wide best practices for rapid rehousing for victims of domestic. The coordinated access process decreases the frustrations victims experience when navigating complex systems.
