IPV & Homelessness: Future Directions Based on Findings from CASPEH (English, 7.18.24)
Intimate partner violence (IPV), defined as violence or abuse by a current or former intimate partner, increases the risk of homelessness for survivors, particularly those with limited financial resources. To better understand the experiences of survivors of IPV who are currently experiencing homelessness, this webinar will highlight findings from the California Statewide Study of People Experiencing Homelessness (CASPEH), to advance evidence-based solutions and recommendations for preventing and responding to homelessness among IPV survivors. Please join us for a presentation and in-depth moderated discussion, as well as funding and programmatic recommendations that advocates, policymakers, and other decision-makers can promote to address and end homelessness among survivors of domestic violence.
The webinar is hosted by the National Network to End Domestic Violence and in partnership with our member program, the California Partnership to End Domestic Violence. Our hosts will be joined by presenters Anita Hargrave, MD lead CASPEH researcher and UCSF Benioff Homelessness and Housing Initiative (BHHI) faculty; Jesica Gianola and Dez Martinez, survivors with lived expertise on the UCSF BHHI Advisory Board; Karlo Ng, the Director on Gender-Based Violence Prevention and Equity for Housing and Urban Development (HUD); Debbie Chang MPH, president and CEO of Blue Shield of California Foundation; moderator Jennifer Willover, Housing Policy Analyst, California Partnership to End Domestic Violence, panelists Sharon McDonald, Senior Advisor to the Chief Policy Officer, National Alliance to End Homelessness, and DFox, Deputy Director Housing Policy and Practice, National Network to End Domestic Violence.
