Conference Overview:

Two top concerns for survivors of Domestic Violence (DV) are the need for safe housing and the need for economic resources to maintain safety. Advocates are consistently seeking safe housing options for survivors, and Housing Authorities are looking for ways to build in programming to enhance family stability. Therefore, how can tribal Advocates and tribal Housing Authorities build a collaborative team in order to address these top concerns? This conference will provide guidance on how a Housing and Advocate Response Team can work together to fill tribal housing gaps and create housing programs that provide more than just a place to live.

As a result of this virtual conference, teams will be able to:

• Describe the unique needs of a Domestic Violence survivor who is participating in a housing program.
• Conduct a Housing Needs Assessment in their tribal communities using written, verbal, and virtual formats for gathering data.
• Analyze results from the Needs Assessment to create goals, objectives, and action steps.

There are three Tracks available for this conference:

1. The Advocate Track (Green)
2. The Housing Authority Track (Purple)
3. The Alaska Track (Blue)
