Survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV) often must contend with the loss of stable housing when attempting to escape an abusive relationship. IPV survivors with disabilities face additional barriers, as they may struggle to find housing that is accessible and meets their disability-related needs. This study explores housing-related, financial, and demographic factors potentially affecting the long-term housing prospects of IPV survivors (n = 456) with and without disabilities residing in an emergency domestic violence shelter. Records covering a 6-year service period were assessed. Results indicate possible financial, vocational, and educational barriers that could impede IPV survivors from securing stable, permanent housing. Domestic violence shelters can help survivors by addressing these barriers in their operating policies and procedures. Suggestions are provided for giving material and operational support to residents, enabling them to pursue economic independence, extending the length of time allowable for shelter stays, and advocating for accessible housing options for survivors with disabilities
