Housing Rights for Survivors of Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault, Dating Violence, and Stalking

Webinar: Tuesday, October 11th at 9:00-10:30 am PT/ 12:00-1:30 pm ET

The Domestic Violence and Housing Technical Assistance Consortium (DVHTAC) provided an informal webinar for culturally-specific organizations and housing initiatives serving survivors of intimate partner violence.

In this pre-recorded webinar, the National Resource Center on Domestic Violence (NRCDV) partnered with Diana “Dede” Yazzie-Devine, President and CEO of Native American Connections, an organization improving the lives of individuals and families through Native American culturally appropriate behavioral health, affordable housing, and community development services. Here, our expert presenter will discuss how the braiding of both federal and long-term, sustainable funding can be achieved to acquire, develop, and operate high quality housing communities.

This webinar provides an overview of best practices to increase access for culturally-specific communities to HUD Continuum of Care (CoC) housing programs and DV/SA/HT Bonus resources in the current HUD Notice of Funding Opportunity.

Domestic violence is a leading cause of both survivor homelessness and housing instability. Those experiencing homelessness or housing insecurity are more vulnerable to violence. Survivors need flexible, affordable, and safe housing options to achieve safety and lasting stability. Many survivors turn to their friends, family, and faith leaders for housing support. In collaboration with Jewish Women International, the National Resource Center on Domestic Violence (NRCDV) spoke with faith leaders of different identities and backgrounds.

On May 5, 2021 a federal district court judge ruled in favor of landlords and property owners claiming the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) did not have the authority to issue the federal eviction moratorium (set to expire June 30, 2021).

In this issue, we highlight critical policy and funding updates, as well as recent resources related to eviction protections, permanent supportive housing (PSH), vaccine distribution and more.

This webinar explores the ways in which DV/SA advocates, embedded in homeless/housing systems, and vice versa, can create access and increase racial and gender equity for survivors and support homeless/housing advocates to understand the unique safety needs and barriers survivors face.
