FVAP’s Housing Safety & Justice program was created to address the widespread issue of homelessness as a direct result of domestic violence. California and Federal laws provide protections for survivors facing housing crises, but survivors, advocates, housing providers and employers are often unaware of these protections.
To better protect survivors and inform the people who serve them, FVAP provides trainings and on-call legal assistance to advocates and attorneys statewide about the unique protections that survivors have when it comes to housing. FVAP’s goal is to ensure that advocates and attorneys have the knowledge and tools to empower survivors to obtain or maintain safe housing.
