Abstract

House of Ruth Maryland is a comprehensive intimate partner violence (IPV) service provider. Our academic-practitioner partnership conducted a prospective, quasi-experimental evaluation (n570) of on-site transitional housing and community-based rapid rehousing to meet the safety and stability needs of individuals made homeless because of IPV. By 6-month follow-up, both IPV revictimization and housing instability significantly improved (P,.001). Housing supports through an IPV service provider advanced the dual goals of safety and housing stability for IPV survivors. Safe, affordable housing is an IPV prevention strategy.
