- Abstract
Safe, appropriate short-term housing for people experiencing elder abuse is a critical part of a robust coordinated community response. In the past decade, the elder abuse shelter movement, which uses long-term-care communities to provide holistic, trauma-informed services to abuse victims, has grown exponentially, with shelters operating throughout the country. The SPRiNG (Shelter Partners: Regional, National, Global) Alliance functions as a community of practice. Through identifying a local champion, securing appropriate housing based on community needs and resources, and accessing a network of support services, shelters can serve a crucial need.
