520 _aThis paper examines the empirical studies of shelter effectiveness in the lives of abused women. This review includes studies of “shelter” in general, and does not address the specific programs offered within shelter (e.g., support groups, children’s programs), which are the subject of separate research summaries. This is a paper in the Domestic Violence Evidence Project series. "The Domestic Violence Evidence Project, an initiative of the National Resource Center on Domestic Violence (NRCDV), is designed to respond to the growing emphasis on identifying and integrating “evidence-based practice”. We are combining what we know from research, evaluation, practice and theory to inform critical decision-making by domestic violence programs and allies. The project has collected and synthesized evidence from published, empirical research studies. Since we know that controlled research studies are not the only source of information on program effectiveness, we are also identifying where emerging evidence shows that programs and practices are making a difference in community settings. Together, these research reviews and profiles of innovative, culturally-responsive and evidence-based programs and practices can expand the field’s capacity to more effectively serve survivors and their families and help build a more robust body of evidence for our work."
