Promising Practices: Working with Housing Clients who have Disabilities
Survivors of human trafficking who also live with disabilities often face layered barriers to safe, stable housing, including discrimination, inaccessible systems, and service models that are not designed with disability in mind.
Under the ADA, a disability includes physical or mental impairments that substantially limit major life activities, including physical, sensory, mental health, cognitive, chronic, and systemic conditions.
Effective housing assistance must be trauma-informed, survivor-centered, and responsive to diverse access needs from the first point of contact.

Voluntary Services for Housing Providers – FNUSA Housing TTA Project
This webinar discusses the foundational concepts of voluntary services and how they can be applied to housing programs. The voluntary services model is a trauma-informed, survivor-centered approach based on the idea that participating in services should be voluntary and not a condition of receiving shelter or other housing services. With this approach, housing and service providers can prioritize survivors' choices, needs, and interests. This webinar will provide grantees the opportunity to review policies and procedures through a voluntary services lens and discuss frequently asked questions pertaining to the voluntary services approach.
