Council Member Diana Ayala inquires about the timeline for resuming the streamlined transition process between DV and DHS shelters. The administration aims to resume this process by the end of calendar year 2024. Additionally, the continuity of rental assistance eligibility when transferring from DV to DHS shelters is discussed.

  • The streamlined transition process is expected to resume by the end of calendar year 2024
  • When families or individuals transfer from DV shelters to DHS, their eligibility for rental assistance vouchers is maintained
  • DHS will generate a new shopping letter for transferred clients, eliminating the need for a full reapplication process
