A new report by the Texas Council on Family Violence found the number one concern for survivors was housing, which has become even harder to facilitate with the current economy.
When bravely leaving an abuser, domestic violence survivors have many fears on their minds.
Jennifer and her three sons have been in the Battered Women and Children’s Shelter for a year and are finally thriving despite the trauma. Many survivors said finding shelter and housing has been impossible. The report showed that 39% of survivors surveyed across Texas had been denied shelter solely due to a lack of space and capacity.
“With rental prices going up, fair market rent going up, it has been a little bit more challenging,” Schultz said. “We have had to relocate several of the clients that have participated in our rapid rehousing program because the perpetrator has found them,” Schultz said.
