Abstract

Trauma-informed practices (TIP) with intimate partner violence (IPV) survivors contributes to short-term improvements in their mental health. However, less is known about TIP’s long-term value for mental health and whether TIP’s value extends to other life domains, such as housing. Focused on the outcomes of housing stability, mental health, and violence experiences, this longitudinal study examined the contributions of TIP and Domestic Violence Housing First (DVHF), which is a novel intervention that engages survivors in housing-inclusive advocacy and flexible financial assistance.
