Domestic Violence and Housing Technical Assistance Consortium
The Safe Housing Alliance informs and supports the work of the Domestic Violence and Housing Technical Assistance Consortium (DVHTAC), which works with providers nationwide to improve policies, identify promising practices, and strengthen collaborations to enhance the safety and stability of survivors of domestic and sexual violence and their children.
About the Consortium
The Domestic Violence and Housing Technical Assistance Consortium provides training, technical assistance, and resource development at the critical intersection of domestic violence, homelessness, and housing. Funded and supported by an unprecedented partnership between the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Department of Justice, and Department of Housing and Urban Development, this multi-year Consortium brings together national, state, and local organizations with deep expertise on housing and domestic violence in order to collaboratively build and strengthen technical assistance to both housing/homelessness providers and domestic violence service providers. The Consortium aims to improve policies, identify promising practices and strengthen collaborations necessary to improve housing options for survivors of domestic violence and their children in order to enhance safety, stability, and well-being.

- Strategies for building effective and sustainable partnerships across systems and case studies of successful collaborations
- In-depth resource collections organized around four key approaches to addressing and preventing housing instability among survivors
- Access to relevant federal laws, regulations, and polices
