HUD is offering a new webinar series for Persons Impacted by Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault. The series will help participants augment the crucial housing services they already provide, and to support survivors seeking housing-related assistance. In the first session, experienced service providers will highlight how housing providers and housing counselors can better understand and serve clients through both individual casework and agency level program decision-making. The series will outline the housing-related protections available to consumers under the Violence Against Women Act Reauthorization Act of 2022 (“VAWA 2022”).

Opponents argue that the move will reduce the number of tribal legislators on the committee. The South Dakota State Tribal Relations Committee is responsible for fostering relationships between the state government and South Dakota’s nine tribal nations.
