In this episode, we are joined by Staff Attorneys from PCAR’s Sexual Violence Legal Assistance Project (SVLAP) to learn about housing rights and the impact of discrimination on survivors of sexual violence. We use scenarios to understand common examples of discrimination, and learn how to file a complaint in Pennsylvania.
