| Description: | The Transitional Housing Assistance Grants for Victims of Sexual Assault, Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, and Stalking Program focuses on a holistic, victim-centered approach to providing transitional housing services that move survivors into permanent housing.

Successful transitional housing programs provide a wide range of optional services that reflect the unique needs of victims and promote victim choice and autonomy.
