LAHSA Question Submission Form Survey

The National Alliance for Safe Housing (NASH) and National Housing Law Project (NHLP) are supporting LAHSA’s efforts to develop county-wide policies in collaboration with housing providers operating within Los Angeles County on emergency transfer policies specific to survivors of domestic and sexual violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking and human trafficking in accordance with the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). NASH and NHLP are providing support to housing providers in Los Angeles County who have questions regarding their obligations under VAWA and related federal, state, and local laws as they relate to survivors’ housing rights.

Please note that we will respond to your questions within 7-14 business days. Your questions will also help inform the trainings and materials we develop to support your work. The questions will be accessible to NASH, NHLP and LAHSA. You can choose not to share your contact information if you would like to stay anonymous or just make a point/provide general feedback. Any information collected will only inform the development of training and materials.

7.What best describes your need/question? (Please mark all that apply.)

I want general information about what I need to know and do as a housing provider about the rights of survivors.

I have a survivor in my program that does not feel safe and we are not sure how to address the issue.

I have a survivor in my program that wants to move to another unit/program because of safety reasons, but I don’t know which program to go to because we don’t have options in our program or portfolio.

What kind of information do I need to share with landlords we work with for Rapid Re-Housing (RRH) about survivor housing protections?

Our program does not know what to do with a survivor because the survivor is with the batterer again and it’s causing problems with other clients/tenants (noise complaints, etc).

What kinds of documentation should I be asking from a survivor if they are seeking housing protections?

We don’t accept survivors into our program, do we have to?

How do we keep survivor information confidential?

Are there forms in different languages to share with survivors? Where are they?
