The Difference Between Surviving and Not Surviving

NRCDV Radio's newest podcast episode featuring Shaina Goodman, author of "The Difference Between Surviving & Not Surviving," explores the role that public benefits can play in addressing economic insecurity among survivors and how public benefit programs can be strengthened.

TA Question of the Month

How can domestic and sexual violence advocates and housing providers help survivors plan for safety while working together to secure safe and stable housing?

Survivors face numerous barriers to keeping or trying to access safe housing. These challenges can force them into unsafe housing arrangements, living in danger on the streets, or even staying with or returning  to the abuser just so that they and their children have beds to sleep in.
