We exist to make safe, affordable housing reachable for the people most often turned away — and to walk alongside them as they build something lasting.

Our story

Housing should be accessible, supportive, and dignified.

At DALS, LLC, we believe everyone deserves a safe place to call home and an opportunity to move forward, no matter what challenges they have faced along the way.

Dyvonne's Alternative Living Solutions was founded on the belief that housing is more than just a roof over someone's head—it's the foundation for healing, growth, stability, and hope. We understand that life doesn't always go as planned. A job loss, medical issue, financial hardship, incarceration, recovery journey, disability, family crisis, or unexpected life transition can make finding housing feel overwhelming and out of reach.

That's why we're here.

Our mission is to provide safe, affordable, and supportive housing opportunities for individuals and families who need a fresh start and a place to rebuild. We strive to create welcoming environments where people are treated with dignity, respect, and compassion, while being encouraged to work toward their personal goals and long-term stability.

We proudly partner with community organizations, social service agencies, healthcare providers, faith communities, and referral partners to connect residents with resources that support success both inside and outside the home. Whether someone needs housing after incarceration, support during recovery, assistance navigating community resources, or simply a stable place to get back on their feet, we are committed to walking alongside them on their journey.

At DALS, we don't just provide housing—we help create opportunities for people to regain confidence, rebuild their lives, and write the next chapter of their story.

Because everyone deserves a place to belong, a chance to grow, and hope for a brighter future.

Yours truly,

Cheryta Smith

What we value

Our guiding principles

Dignity first

Every resident is met with respect. No labels, no judgment — just a door that opens.

Honest structure

Clear expectations and consistent support create the conditions where change actually happens.

Long-term stability

We measure success by what residents go on to build — not just the night they moved in.

Calling private landlords

Your property can be more than a rental. It can change a life.

We're inviting private landlords across Wake County and surrounding areas to enter into a commercial master-lease with DALS, LLC. We become the tenant of record, your rent arrives on time every month, and your property is professionally maintained — while serving as the foundation someone needs to rebuild after incarceration, recovery, or hardship.

No tenant screening at 9pm. No vacancy gaps. No chasing past-due rent. Just worry-free rent and a community that gets stronger because you said yes.

Worry-free, on-time rent

Predictable monthly payments from a registered, insured operator.

We handle the day-to-day

Residents, house rules, and routine upkeep — managed by our team.

Your property, used for good

Stable housing for people writing the next chapter of their story.
