The Housing First model has been shown to be a highly effective approach to achieving permanent housing for chronically homeless individuals with serious mental illness and chemical dependency. There are numerous components of the model that lend themselves toward achieving similar goals for homeless domestic violence (DV) survivors and their children. A leading cause of homelessness for women, many of whom are mothers, is DV. This article describes the commonalities between the Housing First model and the tenets of DV victim advocacy work and explores how Housing First can be adapted to effectively achieve safe and stable housing for DV survivors and their children. Preliminary evidence for the adapted model - termed Domestic Violence Housing First - is provided, and policy implications are discussed.
“先有住房”模式已被证明是一种非常有效的方法，可帮助患有严重精神疾病和药物依赖的长期无家可归者获得永久性住房。该模式的许多组成部分有助于为遭受家庭暴力（DV）的无家可归幸存者及其子女实现类似目标。对许多身为母亲的女性来说，家庭暴力是导致她们无家可归的一个主要原因。本文描述了“先有住房”模式与家庭暴力受害者维权工作原则之间的共性，并探讨了如何调整“先有住房”模式，以便有效地为家庭暴力幸存者及其子女实现安全稳定的住房。文中提供了对调整后的模式——称为“家庭暴力先有住房”模式——的初步证据，并讨论了其政策影响。
