Housing providers often struggle with how to help survivors. Is something happening with this
resident? Why does it seem to keep happening? What can I do to help? This course is intended to
provide housing professionals with a foundation for understanding and working with applicants and
residents who are survivors of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and/or
stalking. Participants will learn about the cycle of violence, the pattern of power and control, the
impact of these traumatic experiences, and the resources and community partners available to
provide assistance. This course complements the VAWA implementation course focusing on HUD’s
Final Rule, required notices, emergency transfers and plans, lease bifurcations, reporting and
recordkeeping.
