Intimate partner violence (IPV) victimization contributes to homelessness and housing insecurity for survivors and their children. Despite growing interest in expanding strategies for addressing the housing needs of survivors, there is a dearth of knowledge regarding survivors' preferences and recommendations. To begin to address knowledge gaps, this article reports findings from a qualitative study examining the housing needs of IPV survivors and survivors' preferences and recommendations for addressing their housing needs. In-depth interviews with 19 adult IPV survivors in a southeastern community determined three key themes: (a) IPV housing needs and challenges, (b) domestic violence shelter strengths and concerns, and (c) recommendations for addressing survivors' housing needs. The findings highlight the need for flexibility and variability in housing services as opposed to a one-size-fits-all strategy, and stress the importance of centering the voices of survivors as the field explores new housing directions.
亲密伴侣暴力(IPV)受害会导致幸存者及其子女无家可归和住房无保障。尽管人们越来越关注扩大策略来满足幸存者的住房需求,但对于幸存者的偏好和建议知之甚少。为了开始解决知识差距,本文报告了一项定性研究的结果,该研究检查了 IPV 幸存者的住房需求以及幸存者对满足其住房需求的偏好和建议。在东南部社区对 19 名成年 IPV 幸存者进行的深入访谈确定了三个关键主题:(a)IPV 住房需求和挑战,(b)家庭暴力庇护所的优势和关注点,以及(c)解决幸存者住房需求的建议。研究结果强调了住房服务需要灵活性和可变性,而不是一刀切的策略,并强调了将幸存者的声音作为该领域探索新住房方向的中心的重要性。
