2022 Partner | MY SISTER'S PLACE
DC Wise has chosen My Sister’s Place as our Partner Organization for 2022 because of the organizations commitment to providing safe housing and services to survivors of domestic violence and their families as they rebuild their lives on their own terms.
Our Mission
My Sister’s Place (MSP) shelters, supports and empowers survivors of domestic violence and their children, while providing leadership and education to build a supportive community. MSP is unique in offering a full continuum of care, from emergency shelter through transitional-to-permanent housing. Our experienced team of case managers and residential counselors provides clinical counseling, case management, and comprehensive services to empower survivors to recover and thrive. MSP also provides training, case consultation, and advocacy to engage communities to prevent violence and abuse.
Our Impact
Survivors Perspective
”I almost lost hope, and MSP
restored and brought my hope

permanently lit the light which I
was seeing from a distance.”
