"Regaining Balance" Housing Report

Today, we are going to be talking about a housing report that Texas Council on Family Violence has produced. Joining us for this very important topic is Molly Thibodeaux, Public Policy Coordinator at the TCFV. Molly was responsible for spearheading the report titled “Regaining Balance: Safe & Stable Housing for Survivors of Domestic Violence.” In this episode, she sheds light on why it’s so important that we explore the intersection of housing and domestic violence and the impact of homelessness on survivors. She also explains how the report came about through interviews with transitional housing grantees funded through VOCA funding. We talk about the five different housing assistance options that are covered in the report, what is working in the Texas programs, and Molly’s recommendations to funders. You’ll hear about why services should be survivor-driven and survivor-centered, the importance of using a trauma-informed approach, and the challenge of providing the right blend of independence and support. To understand how housing is actually a form of prevention and what you can do to get involved or lend support to domestic violence survivors, tune in today! Please note that this episode carries a trigger warning for domestic violence.
