A heightened number of requests from domestic violence victims for services like emergency housing and legal representation overwhelmed current D.C. resources on a day in September, leaving 77 of them unmet, according to a new report.

The National Network to End Domestic Violence released a count Wednesday showing that while 847 domestic violence victims in the District received support from resources like hotlines in the city on Sept. 10, 2014, 77 citizens didn’t get the help they requested. That figure of people with unmet requests increased by 48 percent from 2013 to 2014, according to the report.

The data shows a 53 percent increase in requests related to domestic violence from 2013 to 2014 in the city. And over the past year, eight individual services around the city were reduced or eliminated despite the increased demand, according to the report.

Of the people surveyed for the report, 10 percent of domestic violence victims said the blame for their unmet requests fell on a lack of staffing.
