TY - GEN AB - "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"-- AU - Botein, Hilary, AU - Hetling, Andrea, CN - Ebrary CN - HV1445 ID - 772903 KW - Abused women KW - Family violence KW - Women LK - https://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=4751330 N2 - "Housing matters for everyone.
