Emergency Rental Assistance Funding (ERAP) Updates
Housing Stability Services Offered
Housing stability services for survivors of domestic violence and human trafficking will fall into the following twelve (12) service categories, twenty-seven (27) sub-services. Petitions can be made to the WCADVSA for any services related to but not on this list for the WCADVSA to discuss with DFS.
1. Trailer/Mobile Home Repairs - Necessary repairs to restore the safety and habitability of rented trailers or trailers owned by the client and kept on a rented lot. These repairs are for any damage to the trailer home caused by or during the domestic violence.
2. Accessibility/security to maintain or obtain safe housing
3. Admin costs
4. Transportation to maintain or obtain safe housing (House/Job Hunting) - We know that most people in Wyoming live in rural areas with no public transportation and that the cities are spread out. It is often hard to apply for housing or keep jobs without a vehicle or some form of reliable transportation. The following transportation costs will assist survivors to be able to succeed in obtaining and maintaining safe and stable housing by eliminating these barriers.
5. Material Assistance to maintain or obtain safe housing - Often, survivors have to make a choice between paying rent or buying food, or diapers. In these cases, they most often pick food, personal items and diapers over rent. This will help them to stay in their safe and stable housing until they can get on their feet. The same can be said for clothing. They often don’t have the kind of clothing they need to obtain and keep a job. This takes away one more barrier.
6. Housing counseling, fair housing counseling and case management related to housing stability
7. Application fees, credit check fees, background check fees.
8. Translation and interpretation services: Providing translation and interpretation services to assist survivors in and/or accessing services.
9. Independent Living Skills
10. Pay advocates to assist survivors with ERAP clients through stipend, salary, or eligible overtime pay, including but not limited to, attendance at Allstate financial management classes on select Saturdays
11. H0200 HUD counselor training for up to ten participants
12. Allstate Financial Management Training for CBOs
If you have any questions, or can utilize any of these services to get this money into the hands of survivors, please contact Angie at afessler@wyomingdvsa.org for approval.
Funding Update
As of March 18, ERAP has helped 5,996 Wyoming households with a total of $23.9 million in assistance. Of the rental payments, $18.9M went to landlords, $3.5M to renters and $1.4M to utilities.
To see county specific information, click here.
Wyoming has also finalized negotiations with the U.S. Department of Treasury and have voluntarily returned $105 million of ERA 1 funding. ERA 1 requirements on COVID-19 impacts were too restrictive to be useful for many Wyoming renters. Wyoming have switched to ERA 2 funding, which allows us to be able to help more Wyoming residents, including those who are homeless.
With the use of ERA 2 funds, Wyoming has issued 897 letters of intent to households who are homeless or without a current residence. Of those approved letters of intent, 132 households have obtained housing.
With the rising costs of gas, heating and food, there has been a spike in household requests in 2022. While four additional caseworkers have been added in the department, they are experiencing slower turnaround times due to the increased applications.
If you have any questions or would like more immediate information, contact Angie at afessler@wyomingdvsa.org.

Funding and Capacity Building Opportunity for Economic Empowerment!
Become a Sub-grantee
The Allstate Foundation Moving Ahead Grant Program is a competitive grant program focused on providing resources for the development, acceleration and implementation of financial empowerment services for domestic violence survivors. The program supports innovative financial empowerment programs that include financial education services to survivors and asset-building activities in at least one of the following categories: job readiness and job training; survivor matched savings programs, micro-loans; credit building and/or repair; and micro-enterprise. The Allstate Foundation recognizes asset-building activities as those that benefit or add strength, value or resources to the lives of survivors, helping them move from short-term safety to long-term security.
With support of the Allstate Foundation the WCADVSA hopes to build the capacity of communities to better respond to the complex financial needs of domestic violence survivors by collaborating with and sub-granting funds to local programs and other community partners. Our goal is to reach as many survivors with financial empowerment services and train as many advocates as possible.
If you share our commitment to ending domestic violence through financial empowerment, we encourage you to apply to be a sub-grantee. Sub-grantees will receive training and technical assistance as well as monetary awards in the amount of $5,000-$15,000 to help pay salaries, program costs, and incentives for survivors.

Connect with Trish Worley if you are interested or have questions.

Flexible Funds to Reduce Education, Employment, and Job Training Barriers for Survivors
With support from The Allstate Foundation, the WCADVSA has funds to support education, employment, and job training barriers for survivors. These funds can be used to help support survivors in obtaining G.E.D.s, job skills training, certifications, licenses, continuing education, education/job-related supplies such as uniforms, tools, and/or other equipment, transportation-related support, etc.
If your program is offering training on the Allstate Moving Ahead Curriculum or other economic empowerment training, you may request funds to support and encourage survivor participation such as offering food and/or childcare during economic empowerment events or gas gift cards for survivors to get to the training.
Member programs may also inquire about offering scholarships to help support survivor participation in job training programs such as CLIMB Wyoming.
Funds must be spent by June 30, 2022. We have approximately $7,178.00 remaining. Remaining funds will be pledged on a first come first serve basis. To request funds, please submit an Allstate Barrier Reduction Request Form. Once your request has been approved, your program will pay expenses upfront and then you can request reimbursement by submitting an Allstate Barrier Reduction Reimbursement Form.
While it is not required for participants to utilize the Allstate Moving Ahead curriculum to access these funds, financial planning and management is a life-long process and this online curriculum is designed for domestic violence survivors and can help provide the guidance and tools needed to make important financial decisions and work toward gaining long-term financial security.
If you have any questions, please connect with Trish Worley

FY 2023 DHS DV/SA Appropriations Requests
As we celebrate the passage of the Violence Against Women Act last week, there is more that needs to be done to address the needs of immigrant survivors who continue to be left behind. The Asian Pacific Institute on Gender-Based Violence are asking for your support to request that Congress to address longstanding requests to include funding for VAWA related programming within the immigration related agencies within the Department of Homeland Security.
Please review the APIGBV requests, sign on in support, and to include them in your direct asks of your Congressional contacts. For FY2023 APIGBV are calling on Congress to provide legal authority to recapture unused crime victim visas to help reduce the almost 180,000 person U-visa backlog, appropriate $15 million to address VAWA, U-visa and T-visa backlogs as part of a $400 million request for USCIS to address the backlogs in application processing. They are also providing equally important report language to further assist in these efforts.
They are also asking for reductions in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) funding to prevent spending on the detention and removal of survivors who are eligible for or who have pending survivor-related immigration applications, as well as funding to support a DHS gender-based violence Ombudsperson.
To support the request, please review their letter and visit this LINK to provide your organizational support by COB Thursday, March 31, 2022.
Please share with your networks- the form can be found here at (https://forms.gle/Ec8U7rLt7FZEMBfR8)

Rape, domestic violence, trafficking and Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women: Several new studies clearly show that climate change plays a critical role in the increase of gender-based violence across our Earth Mother. A recent report by CARE found that “in most disasters, women and girls are worst affected.” This is especially true in developing countries and Indigenous communities. Climate change will continue to spur weather-related disasters, fires, tornadoes, hurricanes, droughts, extreme weather, and other consequences, and it will lead to higher rates of violence. In responding to the alarming increase in climate change, it is important to understand the connections to gender-based violence in addressing the future of our planet. The fight against climate change should not only be a struggle for the future of our planet, but it is also an urgent call to address the safety and well-being of our women and girls.
Please join us for this timely and critical webinar discussion with Faith Spotted Eagle as we prioritize the impact of the ensuing climate crisis and its interaction with gender-based violence.

Lessons Learned About Survivor-Centered Support During the COVID-19 Pandemic
A WEBINAR SERIES FOR IPV ADVOCATES, HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS, AND CHILD WELFARE ADVOCATES
Dates: April 27, 2022 / May 25, 2022
Each Webinar Will Be Hosted At: 12am-1pm MT
We are excited to announce a webinar series highlighting best practices and innovative strategies that IPV advocates, healthcare providers, and child welfare advocates can implement to form stronger support networks for survivors of violence and abuse in emergency conditions, such as COVID-19. Leaders in the field will share important practice and organizational policy changes made during the pandemic to ensure continuity of quality services for children and families, particularly those belonging to communities that are marginalized.
Based on three issue briefs developed through a collaborative effort of the Improving Services for Violence Against Children and Women project (by Futures Without Violence, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and from research by the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh), each webinar will offer recommendations to specific audiences related to prevention strategies, systems and practice change, and staff/organizational support to better serve adult and child survivors during a public health crisis.
Learning Objectives: At the end of each training, participants will be able to:
- Identify organizational policy and practice recommendations to respond more effectively during public health emergencies; and
- Describe systems-level improvements to promote equity across the service landscape and address disparity gaps and underlying root causes of IPV during and post-pandemic.

NNEDV 16th Annual Domestic Violence Counts Report
The National Network to End Domestic Violence (NNEDV) released the findings from their 16th Annual Domestic Violence Counts Report. The annual report documents the number of people who sought domestic violence services in a single 24-hour period, as well as the types of services requested and the number of service requests that went unmet due to a lack of resources.
NNEDV’s Domestic Violence Counts Report is a trusted source of data on the services domestic violence advocates provide to survivors each day. It shines a light on survivors’ stories about safety, security, and healing, as well as unmet needs and unfunded services—to make sure these stories are heard by people who can help make more resources and options available.
The 16th Annual Domestic Violence Counts Report found that on September 9, 2021, 70,032 adult and child victims of domestic violence received lifesaving services, including 38,608 victims who found refuge in emergency shelters, transitional housing, hotels, motels, or other housing; and 31,424 victims who received nonresidential assistance and services, including counseling, legal advocacy, and children’s support groups. On that same day, local programs were unable to meet 9,444 requests for services—primarily requests for housing or emergency shelter—because they lacked sufficient resources.
