Evaluation
Did you know that some of the most important research on domestic violence survivor advocacy has been happening with your peers in Washington state? Come be among the first in the nation to learn about the ground-breaking findings of the Domestic Violence Housing First study, and what it means for survivors and their children, for services, and for our movement. If you've ever wondered how we can truly stabilize families experiencing violence, and reduce further violence, this workshop is for you!  

Dr. Cris Sullivan and Linda Olsen will present the findings from the Domestic Violence Housing First (DVHF) Demonstration Evaluation, which followed survivors over two years after they sought services from domestic violence programs at several WSCADV member programs in rural and urban communities. Cris will share the impact of the DVHF model on survivors' safety, housing stability, mental health and quality of life over time as well as how the model made a difference in the lives of BIPOC survivors and survivors in different circumstances.

This workshop will be useful for everyone but directors, housing managers, shelter advocates, economic justice advocates are especially encouraged to attend.
