Become a Safe at Home Applicant Assistant

An applicant assistant is an employee of an organization/agency that provides counseling and other services to survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking. Potential applicant assistants must complete the self-guided training and be re-certified annually to ensure they understand the program and can thoroughly explain the benefits and responsibilities to applicants.

Organization Registration

• The director of the organization/agency must print, complete, sign and mail to the Safe at Home program coordinator an Enrolling Organization Registration Form. Upon acceptance, this will establish the organization as an entity that can enroll applicants into the program. It will also put the organization on the list (available on the website) of enrolling agents for potential applicants to contact.
