This article examines the efficacy of a supportive housing program aiming to provide mothers in violent relationships with the practical resources to minimize child protection intervention. Drawing on qualitative interviews with program mothers, child safety officers, and program practitioners, we explore the extent to which the program enabled mothers and children to live free from fathers' violence and disengage from the child protection system. We find that, although valuable, the program did not fully mitigate the risks posed by violent fathers. We therefore argue that responsibility must be shifted onto violent fathers to change their behavior and build their parenting capacities.
本文考察了一项支持性住房计划的成效，该计划旨在为处于暴力关系中的母亲提供实际资源，以尽量减少儿童保护干预措施。通过对参与该计划的母亲、儿童安全官员和项目从业者进行定性访谈，我们探讨了该计划在多大程度上使母亲和儿童能够免受父亲的暴力侵害，并脱离儿童保护系统。我们发现，尽管该计划很有价值，但它并没有完全减轻暴力父亲带来的风险。因此，我们认为必须将责任转移到暴力父亲身上，促使他们改变行为并培养育儿能力。
