Navigating public benefit systems can be a maze. DCA helps you assess eligibility, complete applications, appeal denials, manage renewals, and leverage available support to stabilize your household.
We assist with eviction defense, fair housing complaints, landlord negotiations, relocation support, and connection to affordable housing. When housing crises loom, DCA intervenes early to help prevent homelessness.
We promote civic participation by helping clients register, understand voting rights (especially for those with criminal records or disabilities), challenge disenfranchisement, and engage with local policy initiatives and advocacy campaigns.
Transitioning back into the community involves finding housing, employment, benefits, and social support. DCA provides tailored reentry planning, helps you connect with reintegration resources, and advocates to reduce systemic barriers to success.
