2005年的《暴力侵害妇女法》侧重于为亲密伴侣暴力幸存者提供安全和独立的住房。最新版本的VAWA对住房的关注表明，国会认识到，消除障碍和增加获得安全住房的机会对于我们国家应对IPV至关重要，而且这种系统层面的反应对于减少IPV与随后无家可归者之间的联系是必要的。这项研究审查了过渡性住房方案(THPS)的现状，并讨论了未来方案的考虑因素，包括需要进行评估研究，考虑过渡性住房方案对妇女及其子女遭受暴力的比率以及妇女与虐待伴侣分离后实现经济稳定的能力可能产生的影响。
The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) of 2005 focuses on safe and independent housing for survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV). The focus on housing in the latest version of VAWA suggests recognition by Congress that removing barriers and increasing access to safe housing is critical to our nation's response to IPV, and that this type of systems-level response is necessary to reduce the link between IPV and subsequent homelessness. This study examines the current state of transitional housing programs (THPs) and discusses future program considerations, including the need for evaluation studies that consider the possible impact that transitional housing programs have on the rates of violence toward women and their children, and on women's ability to achieve economic stability after separating from their abusive partners.
