Comprehensive Collaborative Approaches to Housing for Survivors Project

NNEDV’s Collaborative Approaches to Housing for Survivors (CAHS) team provides training, technical assistance, and resource development at the critical intersection of domestic violence, homelessness, and housing. The team also engages in systems work, advocating for policies to increase survivors’ access to housing and protect their confidentiality. The team works to strengthen the collaborations necessary to improve housing options for survivors of domestic violence and their children in order to enhance safety, stability, and well-being. CAHS is a partner of the Safe Housing Partnerships Technical Assistance Consortium (SHPTAC), an innovative national project dedicated to building the capacity of state and territorial coalitions and local programs to improve policies to address the needs of survivors. Working with SHPTAC and experts from national, state, territorial, and local organizations, we help strengthen technical assistance available to both housing/homelessness providers and domestic violence service providers.
