Adopt a Room Adopt a Room

A roof over our heads keeps us dry and safe, but the space we occupy does so much more for our sense of well-being and security.

Please help DVS by adopting an apartment or room. Consider adopting a kitchen for $1,000-$2,000, a bedroom for $3,000 or entire apartment for $5,000. Or help by finding your inner decorator and take action and transform one plain apartment into a beautiful home.
