In ordinary times, many victim services programs use hotel and motel stays to stretch capacity, accommodate households who need to opt out of community shelter models, and as a bridge to imminent shelter openings. How can hotel and motel stays be effectively employed during the COVID-19 pandemic? During this webinar, you will hear from some Iowa programs who are using this strategy as part of their pandemic response. Bring your questions and your own experiences to a conversation aimed at shining a light on the amazing creativity with which programs across the nation are assisting survivors during this historic crisis.

The peer support call is designed to give advocates a chance learn more about the available housing funding for survivors, ask questions, process issues, and provide mutual support on the impact of the COVID-19 virus in safe housing programs.
