Congress must recognize that victims of domestic violence face dangerous situations and should not be forced from housing due to their financial difficulties. We cannot force women and children who have endured domestic violence from safe spaces that provide the stability needed to make a new life. Exhibit 1 (Purpose: To protect victims of domestic violence who file for bankruptcy from summary eviction if their physical well-being is threatened) On page 156, line 18, insert ``, unless the debtor certifies under penalty of perjury that the debtor is a victim of domestic violence whose physical well-being or whose children's physical well-being would be threatened if relief from the stay is granted'' before the semicolon.
