SHP logo

The original presentation was August 3rd, 2023:

The Domestic Violence and Housing Technical Assistance Consortium (DVHTAC) is inviting survivors, DV/SA coalitions, culturally-specific and victim service providers, homeless service providers, and Continuums of Care to an informational panel discussion that highlights how we can create cross system partnerships with CoCs to address the unique, trauma-informed needs of DV/SA survivors from the state to local levels. It is designed for organizations interested in applying for the FY23 HUD Continuum of Care (CoC) Program Competition. 

The webinar will:

  • Discuss the importance of participating in your local Continuum of Care;
  • Discuss how to develop a well-designed CoC DV housing and coordinated entry project;
  • Provide tips and best practices to increase access for culturally-specific and rural communities to HUD CoC housing programs;
  • Discuss how to build effective partnerships with local CoCs, Domestic and Sexual Violence coordinating councils, and state domestic and/or sexual violence coalitions to increase access for survivors; and
  • Provide updates on the FY2023 HUD NOFO process
