Housing is one of the most urgent needs for survivors. Reducing access to shelter for transgender, nonbinary, and LGBTQIA+ survivors does not increase safety; it puts more people at risk. Submit a comment opposing HUD's proposed rule by June 29! tinyurl.com/mtxjxp5a

Thank you @cmcharlesallen.bsky.social for raising the priority of funding domestic violence and victim services. These services save lives! Your support helped restore victims' services in OVSJG. Survivors will still lose housing and services if DHS DV and EHVs are not restored.

TY @chmnmendelson.bsky.social for restoring services funding in the local budget. These funds are necessary to keep DV survivor services open. More funding is still needed to maintain current services in OVSJG. DHS DV services are still cut $200k & survivors will lose housing if EHVs are not funded.
