His abuser has no idea where in California they live. He needs a U- Haul trailer and gas money to move, and since they live in southern California, he also needs to spend one night in a motel and will need food on the way. The worker issued a check for U-Haul and a gas to cover relocation costs, then arranged a night of motel and the requested location from George. George will use his EBT card for food. (The abuser was not on the EBT card with George, so this does not present a safety concern). Example 3: Andy has come in to talk with her worker about the apartment she has located. Andy indicates that the monthly rent is more than her TANF grant. The worker asks Andy how she plans on meeting the ongoing rent since her TANF is only $432.00. Andy explains that her plan is to locate a roommate. Her worker adds the plan to locate a roommate on the ODHS 1543. Example 4: Miranda is requesting payment for two security cameras. One for each entrance to her home. She has already connected with the landlord and they will be installing them for her. She was able to relocate to a different apartment complex that her landlord also owns and is wanting to take additional safety measures to protect her family. The security cameras support the survivor’s safety plan, and enhance ongoing safety, therefore the payment for cameras is approved. Example 5: A survivor and their children are currently living in their RV in their family members driveway while looking for permanent stable housing. Their safety plan is to continue staying in the RV while looking for permanent stable housing. On 4/1 the survivor requests a payment for March RV payment of $350 that was due 3/15 and is now past due. The survivor was unable to pay the March RV payment as the abuser continues to harass the survivor at work and they had to leave multiple times resulting in lower pay in March. The family coach approves one-time past due RV payment in the amount of $350 and discusses a plan with the survivor for ongoing costs. Example 6: A survivor and their children have been able to get into stable housing through the support of a community resource. Their safety plan included relocation and added safety features on the new residence, including cameras and an added slide lock on the front and back doors. The survivor makes a payment request for initial month and set up fees for the internet service of $150 which is needed to monitor the cameras. The family coach approves payment for initial set up and first month of internet costs and discusses a plan with the survivor for ongoing costs. Example 7: A survivor and their two children have an apartment that the abuser is no longer residing in. The survivor reports prior to the abuser leaving, the abuser damaged the children’s beds and the dining room table. The survivor requests payment for furniture to replace the items that were damaged by the abuser. The survivor reports they have looked into lower cost alternatives at community resources but have been unable to find beds and a table. They provide screenshots of two twin beds and a small dining room table online through Walmart. The family coach approves payment for the cost verified from the screenshots and issues payment to the survivor for the furniture. Example 8: Emil jointly owns their own home with their abuser. The abuser has moved out of the home and Emil is currently unable to refinance the home in their own name. Emil is requesting a lock change to the home and a security camera to make the home safer as the abuser continues to drive by regularly. Changing the locks and adding security camera’s does not add value to the home, so the family coach determines that the payment does
