Project Safe Home
Helping battered women and their children build hope for the future through safe, affordable housing.

Project Safe Home is a three-year HRA (Human Resources Administration) sponsored pilot program launched in October, 2008. Partnering with domestic violence shelters and property owners of low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC) apartments, the program provides "housing readiness" programming and coordinated access to LIHTC permanent housing.

"Housing Readiness" workshops at HRA shelters to enhance existing housing programming.
Workshops focused on obtaining and sustaining permanent housing.
Credit, housing court, and criminal background record review and assistance with repair.
Screening for LIHTC housing eligibility and coordination of LIHTC housing applications.
Advocacy with property owners and city agencies in accessing housing.

Project Safe Home can only accept new clients who are currently residing in one of several HRA shelters where the program is being piloted. The program intends to expand into additional transitional and emergency domestic violence shelters in the future.
