"In this book, Botein and Hetling provide a thorough and historically informed assessment of our continuing inability to respond effectively to the housing needs of victims of interpersonal violence.  By highlighting some effective (and ineffective) strategies, and from their listening to the views of the women affected, they point a way forward that focuses us more quickly on the endgame – stable, long-term housing." - Dennis Culhane (Dana and Andrew Stone Professor of Social Policy, University of Pennsylvania) "Botein and Hetling have written a marvelously insightful analysis on the importance of housing for abused women seeking a life free of domestic violence.  This book shows us how to move forward towards sustainable policy and will be an asset to researchers, advocacy organizations, and all else who care the most about abused women’s needs for stable, safe, and affordable housing."- Jacquelyn Campbell (PhD, RN, FAAN, Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing)
