38% of DV survivors will experience homelessness in recovery, and 57% of unsheltered women report DV to be their primary cause of homelessness (National Network to End Domestic Violence (NNEDV). Though odd to say, I was privileged to have been able to drop out of school and work overtime to not lose my housing in the face of DV escape & recovery; had I been a caregiver, or managed more severe disabilities, or didn't have access to 60+ hour week employment, I wouldn't have been able to even begin my long healing journey and ensure my ability to survive & thrive now. A safe & stable home is a human right, impacts countless areas of deep concern, and can & should be afforded to everyone.

Earlier this week, I appeared on KUSI to discuss San Diego homelessness solutions. To help the unhoused population, I think it is important to offer individualized treatment, so that we can "meet people where they are." I also think we should provide a full continuum of care to those whom are receiving treatment and support. We should make sure the right providers are in place, and that we are paying attention to the right metrics. You can watch the entire segment here: https://bit.ly/4crYm2Y

Join me at the panel discussion on Thursday, February 22nd at 10am PST to hear insights from the last Annual Homeless Assessment. The report provides crucial data on homelessness in the US and could be used for individual organizations to leverage resources.

Findings from the California Statewide Study of People Experiencing Homelessness (CASPEH) show that intimate partner violence (IPV) and homelessness are intertwined. Today we released a report examining the connection between these issues. Here’s what we found: ➡ IPV leaves people vulnerable to homelessness. ➡ The risk of homelessness due to IPV disproportionately affects low-income survivors & women of color, who face housing barriers rooted in racism and discrimination. ➡ High housing costs make it difficult to regain housing. ➡ Many fleeing intimate partner violence end up living unsheltered (in their car/rv or outside).   Learn more about IPV & homelessness: Report: https://lnkd.in/gPgszrzm Webinar: https://lnkd.in/gScwsgeG Authors: Anita Hargrave MD, MAS; Tiana Moore, PhD; Sila Adhiningrat, MPH, CHES; Eve Perry; Margot Kushel MD Thank you Blue Shield of California Foundation for your support of our work on IPV. #EndDV #EndHomelessness #IPV #homelessness

Make sure to register for these two upcoming webinars discussing the intersection of domestic violence and homelessness, looking into the new research findings from the UCSF California Statewide Study of People Experiencing Homelessness as well as policy recommendations in part 2!

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Dashboard Housing and Homelessness dashboard reported that 2,926 people are experiencing homelessness in the area as of May 31, 2024. In the past year, "homelessness increased among all household types and subpopulations" and "individuals who identify as Black/African American continue to experience homelessness at rates much higher than their proportion of the Mecklenburg County population (79%)". This data is critical information for the city and county to collect routinely- as stated in the County-wide report: " data can be used to inform person-centered interventions and system level strategies to address homelessness effectively in Charlotte-Mecklenburg."

We know there is a clear connection between homelessness and domestic violence, or intimate partner violence (IPV). Findings from the California Statewide Study of People Experiencing Homelessness (CASPEH) show that among survivors who experienced IPV in the period prior to homelessness, 40% indicated violence was a reason for leaving their last housing an 20% noted it was their primary reason for leaving. Today, the UCSF Benioff Homelessness & Housing Initiative released a new report, Toward Safety: Understanding Intimate Partner Violence and Homelessness, which dives deeper into these IPV-related findings from CASPEH and offers policy recommendations to address these intertwinded issues. Attend our webinar tomorrow to learn more about these findings and what steps we can take to end IPV and homelessness in California.

** 25-33% OF HOMELESSS APPLICATIONS LIST DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AS A MAJOR FACTOR ** Really alarming report from the Centre for Homelessness Impact suggesting that almost a 1/3 of all homelessness applications cite domestic violence as a central cause. This highlights the interlinked nature of many issues that are facing society and the increased need for collaboration and co-operation between all of the amazing charities and institutions that aim to ameliorate the damage caused by these issues. It is only through working together that we can ensure that domestic violence and it's ripple effects are altogether diminished. #homelessness #domesticviolence #collaboration

Still time to register to attend Queensland Youth Housing Coalition (QYHC) Platform 1225 Event description Having a safe place to call home is a fundamental human right. Homelessness and social exclusion is about poverty and disadvantage.  Holistic responses with regard to the wellbeing of all in our society and systems are needed. This is particularly so for children and young people who experience life and our systems through a specific developmental and experiential lens.  Platform 1225 is a Forum for all to come together across government and non-government sectors to address these vital issues. Prevention of homelessness and early intervention are key. The earlier we intervene when a child or young person experiences homelessness, the shorter their experience of homelessness is likely to be. This year Platform 1225 will include a Conference on 15th May, followed by a Workshop for Specialist Youth Homelessness Services on 16th May. https://lnkd.in/gDW2EkBD

Our new report with Abt Associates evaluates three different approaches to reducing the number and size of homeless encampments targeting unique challenges found in the San Fernando Valley, Long Beach and Los Angeles River Basin areas.      Through the insight we've gathered from outreach workers, government staff and homeless service providers, this report deepens the understanding of best practices for addressing unsheltered homelessness through encampment resolution. Read the report and dive deeper into a discussion between homelessness experts from the Homelessness Policy Research Institute. https://lnkd.in/gf6SSGd2
