Victims of Domestic Violence

Many victims of domestic violence may be feeling trapped at this time because of job loss and sheltering in place requirements. Sheltering in place requirements do not require anyone to remain in a violent or unhealthy situation. If you seek an emergency transfer from your home, please complete this form and submit it to your Housing Specialist. For further information on what you can do to protect yourself, contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline at https://www.thehotline.org/

SCCHA Is Conducting Regular Housing Quality Standards Inspections

As of August 2020, SCCHA has coordinated with Nan McKay & Associates Inspections (NMAI) to conduct regular inspections. NMAI has instituted new safety precautions to avoid the spread of COVID-19:

  • NMAI will conduct inspections using a contactless process that includes a simple health questionnaire, physical distancing, and the use of personal protective equipment such as gloves and masks.
  • Inspections may be rescheduled to accommodate conditions that place the tenant or the inspector at risk.

 

Remember that we are all in this together, please let compassion and thoughtfulness for others guide your actions.
