DASH - standing for Durham Action on Single Housing - works with the mission statement of:
"Positive Intervention on Single Homelessness"
DASH endeavours to do this in many ways, the main focus being on providing Supported Housing in our own and managed property and a Tenancy Support Service (Floating Support) to tenants of other organisations. DASH also manages and supports single homeless residents in the City of Durham Emergency Access Accommodation.
