April 16, 2026 | 3:00pm Eastern | 12:00pm Pacific | REGISTER HERE

Join the National Resource Center on Domestic Violence (NRCDV) Housing Resource Center and the National Domestic Violence Hotline (The Hotline) for a webinar featuring DVBeds on Thursday, April 16, 2026 from 3:00-4:00pm ET. DVBeds is an easy to use, web-based tool that provides real-time shelter bed availability for participating domestic violence and sexual assault organizations. 

First created by advocates in Texas, DVBeds is now an official program of The Hotline and is expanding nationwide. DVBeds streamlines searches, saves staff time, and connects survivors to safety faster—all at no cost to programs.

Participants will learn: 

  • How to use DVBeds to locate and coordinate shelter for survivors
