Examining Contextual Influences on the Service Needs of Homeless and Unstably Housed Domestic Violence Survivors

About the Course

Domestic violence (DV) is a leading cause of homelessness for women. The research study described in this article/course was conducted to gain a better understanding of the context and needs of homeless and unstably housed DV survivors. This study examined whether DV survivors could be grouped by features, histories, and contextual factors, and, if so, how group differences may impact what is needed from DV agencies. This course will review current service provision for DV survivors, the problem of homelessness and unstable housing for DV survivors, the reasoning for and results of the research study, and policy/practice recommendations based on this research.

This course is based on the reading-based online article, Examining Contextual Influences on the Service Needs of Homeless and Unstably Housed Domestic Violence Survivors created by Danielle Chiaramonte, PhD et al. in 2022.
