Capacity Building for Community Building

The DRC’s community-building role is now more vital than ever.   To ensure that our organization has the critical resources needed to address current and evolving community needs, we are  launching a three-year capacity-building initiative, focused on investments in Enhanced Service, Access and Equity.

The DRC provides mediation resources to facilitate dialog and negotiation between tenants and landlords regarding rent payment plans to help renters maintain housing.

Our Impact

Civic Harmony Starts Here
In 2019 the DRC served 6,168 members of our community through mediation services, facilitation, training, youth outreach, conflict coaching and our Conflict Resolution Resource Line - an increase of 35% from the prior year.​

The DRC's impact is made possible by the efforts of more than 140  volunteers who collectively give over 5,000 hours of service each year to help individuals, families and organizations in our community navigate conflict.
Thank You to all of the individuals, businesses, foundations and organizations who have made an investment in the mission and work of the DRC - and made our community impact possible - through their financial, in-kind and service partnership support.
