Understanding Those Who Harm
How could we address the needs of perpetrators of violence in the shelter system through new policies, programs, and tools?
Partners & Funders
The Project
New York City’s single-adult shelters lack programs to prevent repeat intimate partner violence. PPL collaborated with the NYC HRA Office of Domestic Violence (ODV) to explore opportunities to design shelter systems and programs that reduce intimate-partner violence.
The Outcome
PPL designed a set of concepts for new communication materials, digital tools, and staff trainings focused on addressing intimate-partner violence, ultimately paving the way for new shelter systems and programs that prioritize improving the safety of all shelter residents.
