Domestic violence is one of the main drivers into homelessness for 60,000 unhoused women in the state and 18,000 homeless women in Los Angeles County. Survivors can experience obstacles both in looking for housing and maintaining safe housing. Elizabeth Eastlund, a fierce advocate for persons with lived experience and advisor of Enfuse Action Collective, and Maricela Rios-Faust, CEO of Human Options, a comprehensive domestic violence service provider in Orange County, discuss with host Anne Miskey the impact of domestic violence on women and their children as well as cross-county and statewide efforts that focus on women finding resources for safety when fleeing domestic violence.
