Here are some common questions survivors have when trying to stay safe in their homes.

• I applied for housing, but the housing provider does not want to rent to me, because I have an Order of Protection. What can I do?
• I feel unsafe in my apartment. How do I move?
• I have experienced trauma due to sexual violence, and I need an accommodation from my housing provider so that I can stay in the apartment. How do I ask for one?
• My housing provider wants to evict me for calling the police for help with domestic violence. Can they do that? 
• My partner kicked me out of my apartment. Where can I go?
