Journal of Community Psychology, 2015, 43(8): 1019-1035Summary: Impoverished women who leave an abusive partner often become homeless, and many homeless women have been abused, yet these groups are frequently studied as distinctly different populations. A total of 15 current and former female participants in a transitional living program (TLP) were interviewed about how they became homeless, where they lived while homeless, the abuse and other challenges they faced, and how they handled those challenges. All participants were homeless with at least one child, and all experienced homelessness while trying to end abuse. (from the abstract). Record #4850
