Trauma-Informed Care for Women Veterans Experiencing Homelessness: A Guide for Service Providers

This guide is designed to be used by community-based service agencies that work with homeless female veterans in a variety of settings (e.g., emergency shelters, domestic violence shelters, transitional and supportive housing programs, outpatient settings). Leaders within these organizations who are looking to improve their effectiveness in engaging the female veterans they serve can use this guide to begin the process of becoming trauma-informed. Community-based organizations can achieve the goal of effectively delivering trauma-informed services if they combine the process and information contained in the guide with training and knowledge of the unique needs of the populations they serve.
