What does the bill do?
The proposal amends the Welfare Services Law regarding the rights of women who stayed in a shelter for battered women. Under the proposal, a woman who left the shelter will be eligible to live in a public housing apartment, without the obligation to meet the general eligibility conditions for public housing. The proposal aims to allow these women a safe and structured rehabilitation process, while removing the economic need that may return them to the arms of the abusive partner.
