A bridge between crisis and stability.
KALMA Foundation helps adult survivors of domestic violence move from immediate safety toward stable housing, financial recovery, and independent living through survivor-centered navigation, community partnerships, and carefully developed stabilization support.
In our first year, KALMA is focused on developing trusted partnerships, understanding the practical barriers survivors face after crisis, strengthening referral systems, and preparing a sustainable housing-stability program for future implementation.
We believe lasting stability requires more than a safe place to stay. It requires dignity, practical support, trusted relationships, and a community committed to helping people move forward.
From Crisis to Stability
KALMA is developing the Safe Stability Pathway for adult survivors of domestic violence in Prince William County, Manassas, Manassas Park, and Dumfries. These are the pieces we are putting in place.
Planning a future housing-stability pilot
Designing a measurable, fundable model with partners, for future implementation.
Trauma-informed practice
Policies, training, and safeguards built before services begin.
Navigation and referrals
Connecting people to qualified housing, legal, benefits, and workforce providers.
A community of partners
Relationships across the Greater Prince William area that outlast any one program.
