UCSF Benioff Homelessness & Housing Initiative’s Post

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
