Overview: Housing Protections for Survivors Under the Violence Against Women Act and Related Requirements for Public Housing Agencies (Course One)
November 14, 2024 | 1:00 - 3:00 PM EASTERN TIME
This is the first course in a series of courses focused on providing an understanding of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). Course one is a high-level overview that will give participants the opportunity to learn about VAWA housing protections for survivors of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking as well as VAWA requirements specific to Public Housing Agencies (PHAs). It will also discuss VAWA’s intersection with the prevalence of gender-based violence (GBV) and homelessness. PHAs will gain a better understanding of how to comply with VAWA’s housing provisions, and specifically how those obligations impact housing operations throughout the occupancy cycle.
The subsequent courses in this series provide a deeper and more comprehensive dive into certain protections for survivors under VAWA as well as the obligations of PHAs and owners.
Self-Care Note: Many people have experienced sexual assault, dating violence, domestic violence, or stalking, or know someone who has. If you are attending this presentation or interacting with the content from this presentation and it brings up experiences, you are encouraged to take care of yourself in ways that work for you (including stepping away during the presentation).
