Programs
Shelter and support - dais operates the only domestic violence homicide prevention shelter in dane county. The shelter is staffed 24 hours a day and during their stay, residents are offered case management services, 24-hour support from shelter advocates, food, toiletries, and clothing. The dais shelter allows for a maximum stay of 45 days which has proven to be vital to a victim's ability to develop long-term, sustainable plans and networking with community services for their future. Offering comprehensive case management services is essential to ensuring that while in shelter, residents receive the support, information, community resource referrals and assistance in accessing services and resources that are necessary to rebuild their lives.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $7.0M to $7.8M (+10%).
