Course Description

Interpersonal violence is a leading cause of homelessness for women and children, and the need for safe and affordable housing is one of the most pressing concerns for survivors of abuse and violence. Many survivors face unique barriers to accessing shelter and affordable housing due to the power and control dynamics involved in these types of abuse and the economic and trauma impacts that result. Participants of this training will leave with an understanding of the intersections between housing, homelessness, and interpersonal violence and how to best help survivors find safety and stability.
