This transmittal explains that, when coding fair hearing requests from or on behalf of a client whose placement in a domestic violence shelter is at issue, the New York City Office of Domestic Violence and Emergency Intervention Services (ODV) should be indicated in the first agency position. While these cases will be scheduled on the New York City Department of Homeless Services (NDHS) calendar for administrative reasons, NDHS should no longer be coded in the agency field. Rather, "(NODV)" will be noted on the NDHS calendar next to the name to distinguish them from NDHS homeless shelter issue cases. They will then be scheduled by staff in the Multiple Task Unit within five to seven calendar days of the request.
