This session will explore how survivor‑centered, empowerment‑based transitional housing practices developed in domestic violence programs can strengthen approaches across the broader homeless service sector. Drawing from DV Housing principles, the session highlights practical strategies, such as trauma‑informed engagement, mobile advocacy, and voluntary, low‑barrier service models that improve housing stability and autonomy. Participants will learn how these survivor/person‑driven methods can be adapted for mainstream programs to reduce barriers, enhance client choice, and support long‑term stability for individuals and families facing homelessness. Attendees will leave with actionable strategies to integrate DV‑informed, empowerment‑based approaches into diverse housing settings.
