To better understand the experiences of survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV) who are currently experiencing homelessness, the UCSF Benioff Homelessness and Housing Initiative analyzed data related to IPV in the California Statewide Study of People Experiencing Homelessness (CASPEH)—the largest representative study of homelessness since the mid1990s. This report offers key findings as well as policy recommendations to address these two intertwined issues.
