Briefly

The article explores the tough realities faced by survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV) like Annabelle, who struggle with finding stable housing after leaving abusive relationships.

Marginalized survivors, faced with eviction histories and societal stigma, encounter even greater barriers when seeking assistance. The combination of legal obstacles, economic abuse, and lack of support systems make it incredibly difficult for survivors to reclaim their independence and secure a safe place to live, creating a persistent cycle of homelessness and instability.
