家庭暴力(DV)机构越来越多地利用量身定制的住房优先(HF)方法来帮助无家可归和住房不稳定的幸存者。然而，研究还没有充分地探索在DVHF项目中工作的DV倡导者如何将幸存者的成功概念化，或者他们使用什么策略来促进这种成功。这一案例研究包括对一个DVHF项目(n=7)中的DV倡导者的深入访谈。传统的内容分析产生了两个主要主题：a)倡导者将DVHF项目中的幸存者成功定义为远远不止是获得住房；b)倡导者通过幸存者定义的方法促进幸存者成功，这种方法涉及跨生态模型的各个层面。调查结果强调了在DVHF方案中进行个性化、多管齐下的宣传的重要性，其中包括在个人(例如，安全规划)、微观(例如，重建非正式支持)和中观(例如，与房东合作)层面的关注。对这些做法的更多研究将有助于进一步明确DVHF模式，并允许进行研究，测试其作为对无家可归和住房不稳定的幸存者的干预措施的有效性。
Domestic violence (DV) agencies are increasingly utilizing tailored Housing First (HF) approaches to assist homeless and unstably housed survivors. Research, however, has yet to sufficiently explore how DV advocates who work in DVHF programs conceptualize success for survivors or what strategies they use to facilitate that success. This case study involved in-depth interviews with the DV advocates in one DVHF program (n = 7). Conventional content analysis resulted in two main themes: a) advocates define survivor success in a DVHF program as much more than just obtaining housing; and b) advocates facilitate survivor success through a survivor-defined approach that involves working across levels of the ecological model. Findings highlight the importance of individualized, multi-pronged advocacy within DVHF programs that includes attention at the individual (e.g., safety planning), micro (e.g., rebuilding informal supports), and meso (e.g., collaborating with landlords) levels. Additional research on these practices will help to further crystalize the DVHF model and allow for studies that test its effectiveness as an intervention for homeless and unstably housed survivors.
