This is a policy statement on the management of sex offenders that was adopted by the Board of Directors of the National Alliance to End Sexual Violence.

 This was written to provide domestic violence advocates with information and strategies to promote the use of HUD's new welfare-to-work housing vouchers as a resource to assist battered women receiving public assistance. The paper identifies barriers faced by many battered women as they attempt to move from welfare to work and identifies how the new voucher program can help women overcome these obstacles.

This document explains the intersection of domestic violence and homelessness and briefly summarizes the housing-related provisions of VAWA2005. A more detailed companion document is referenced herein, under ïOne Strike.Í

This paper is a brief advocacy guide on two sets of HUD proposed regulations issued in April and May 1999. Both sets of regulations involved directives urging public housing authorities to have preferences for victims of domestic violence. While the issue of the 1999 regulations is over for now, the paper is relevant by offering basic information about continuing issues such as why battered women would want to get in a housing program as soon as possible and how to advocate with public housing authorities in their annual and five-year planning processes.

Providing congressional findings, public housing and section 8 housing choice voucher protections, McKinney-Vento HMIS amendments, federal housing planning requirements modifications, and grant programs explicitly relevant to DV survivors.
