WHAT: Web Conference / Webinar
WHERE: Webinar-This webinar is open to all OVW grantees. Presented as part of the Relocation Counseling and Identity Protection Initiativear

We will share tools, resources, and advocacy tips to assist service providers in addressing survivors’ individual needs concerning maximizing income, obtaining and maintaining assets, minimizing and managing debt, confronting unfair debt collection practices (including harassment) and more. We will address common concerns about obtaining new credit post- relocation, as well as repairing credit and other problems that can affect access to housing, employment, educational opportunities.
