Consortium TA Team COVID-19 Special Topic Series: Housing Immigrant Survivors During COVID

SHP Logo

Immigrant survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking face unique and compounded challenges when accessing and maintaining safe housing. COVID-19 exacerbated these problems as well as created new concerns for immigrant survivors. Presenters on this call will discuss the housing barriers that survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking are experiencing and share innovative strategies that local programs have employed to ensure housing stability for survivors during the pandemic. The speakers will further provide an overview of key policy issues impacting immigrant survivors, including eligibility for relief and assistance as well as public charge implications. Participants will be able to ask questions during the Q&A.
