4. Maitri Housing & Economic Empowerment Program, with Jaya Suresh & Sneha Ambekar

Lack of affordable housing and financial stability are two major roadblocks that victims of domestic violence face. Fear of homelessness and poverty often prevents them from escaping abusive situations. In this episode, Nandini Ray is in conversation with Jaya Suresh (Manager, Transitional Housing & Economic Empowerment Program) and Sneha Ambekar (Housing Coordinator) about Maitri programs and they discuss different ways in which Maitri supports the survivors with housing and finance. This project was made possible by funding provided by the County of Santa Clara Office of Gender-Based Violence Prevention.  www.sccendviolence.org
