Establishing a housing stability program for survivors of domestic and gender-based violence.

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to establishing a housing stability program for survivors of domestic and gender-based violence

This bill would require the Office to End Domestic and Gender-Based Violence (ENDGBV), in consultation with the Department of Social Services (DSS) and community-based organizations, to establish a program to provide survivors of domestic and gender-based violence with a low-barrier grant and supportive services that would help survivors with expenses related to maintaining housing. The bill would require ENDGBV to report on the program on an annual basis. The legislation also updates the definitions section used in this section of the code.
