Summary: "Many women with mental health and addiction issues who experience violence face very restricted access to shelters and transitional housing for abused women. This leaves them at substantial risk of homelessness and their needs unaddressed. Some shelters have adopted policy and practice innovations to provide wider access for this population of abused women. This study identifies policy and practice innovations in use and investigates the challenges of transferring effective adaptations to additional shelters."
