Take Action!

Advocates who work with survivors have an important role to play in helping state agencies that administer LIHTC understand the issues that survivors face and the importance of implementing VAWA Best Practices.

​

There are several resources that can help you as you engage with state agencies and LIHTC:

​

  • The National Alliance for Safe Housing (NASH) has a webinar series on this topic.

  • You can ask for help from NASH and Regional Housing Legal Services (RHLS) by filling out the contact form.

  • You can join our listerv to connect with other survivor advocates working on VAWA- and LIHTC-related issues.

  • You can learn more about the QAP comment process from the infographic below.
