The National Network to End Domestic Violence

11/01/2026

November is National Homelessness Awareness Month and National Homeless Youth Awareness Month. 🏠

Everyone deserves a safe home. For domestic violence survivors in particular, having access to safe, affordable housing can save their lives.

Unfortunately, a lack of housing options across the country means that survivors are often faced with impossible choices between abuse and homelessness.

Federal funding supports housing for survivors, but ongoing delays to this funding put survivors in danger. Take action NOW and tell Congress to address these dangerous funding delays: https://buff.ly/ufVHe0Z

impacted by abuse, whether we realize it or not. We all deserve to be safe and healthy (including during pregnancy) and to raise our children in supportive, well-resourced communities.

Tragically, homicide is a leading cause of death during pregnancy in the United States. Research suggests that most of these deaths are linked to abusers choosing to shoot and kill their partners.

NNEDV is committed to advocating for bipartisan, commonsense gun legislation to keep fi****ms out of abusers’ hands, and to ensuring that domestic violence shelters and programs are properly funded to support victims at the first sign of crisis, long before an abuser chooses to escalate to lethal violence.
