Raids on D.C. homeless encampments come amid growing demand for services in Arlington

Doorways "has been facing a surging need for services over the past several years. The nonprofit's safehousing program for people fleeing domestic and sexual violence sheltered a record 70 households in 2024 — a number that has more than doubled from 32 in 2018, according to Doorways' latest annual report.

Meanwhile, sessions offered through Doorways' children's services increased 63% to 1,053, while the organization's HomeStart housing program supported 65 households, a 27% increase from 2023.

'We are working with partners across jurisdictions to make sure every survivor fleeing abuse has a safe place to sleep,' Ortiz said."
