      abstract = {"Housing matters for everyone. Decent housing provides  shelter, security, privacy, stability, and, for homeowners,  a means to build assets. For survivors of intimate partner  violence (IPV), housing takes on an additional meaning; it  is the key to establishing a new life free from abuse. IPV  survivors often face inadequate housing options, forcing  them to choose among unappealing options, such as cycling  through temporary shelters, becoming homeless, or returning  to an abuser. Home Safe Home bridges the divide among  various disciplines and actors to explore both the needs of  IPV survivors and the practicalities of programs, policies,  and funding, and in doing so, analyzes how to design and  expand appropriate, effective, and feasible housing models  for survivors. The story that the book tells is specific  and rooted concretely in the issues of IPV and housing, but  also general in that it illustrates the varied influences  that shape social policy. Through case studies, historical  and contemporary descriptions of policies and programs, and  interviews with survivors, advocates, and providers, the  book leads its reader through the process of defining and  understanding the challenges and presents an innovative  approach and next steps. We propose a housing continuum  that begins with emergency shelters and proceeds directly  to long-term housing options, without time limits and with  trauma-informed supports designed to provide stability and,  for some, also the flexibility to move on to other  homes"--},
