Families denied shelter by DTA have few, if any, options for a safe place to stay

There are NO provisions for ensuring the safety of the family if shelter is denied.
Statewide, there are fewer than 60 privately funded family shelter slots for families who are ineligible for Emergency Assistance. They are constantly full.

The families denied shelter by DTA often end up staying in unsafe conditions, sleeping in cars, going back to abusive relationships, or splitting up the family so the children have a place to stay.
