DESCRIPTION:The effectiveness of transitional (second-step or second-stage)
  shelters for women fleeing violence is poorly understood and has been the
  subject of few comprehensive studies. In Quebec\, this form of housing – 
 as a mechanism to prevent homelessness – has been the focus of the work of
  the QHPPC. In 2024\, a comparative\, rapid review of the literature was u
 ndertaken with the support of a reference group to assess the relative eff
 ectiveness of first- and second-stage shelters in helping women escape dom
 estic violence and achieve stable housing in Quebec. The research synthesi
 zes existing literature and incorporates input from a reference group of e
 xperts and survivors who provide their experiences and real-time informati
 on about the functioning of shelters in Québec. Preliminary results point 
 to key factors such as the overuse of primary shelters because of the defi
 cit of second-stage shelters\, as well as the length of stay\, and service
 s provided. The review highlights significant gaps in the current research
 \, particularly regarding long-term outcomes after leaving second-stage sh
 elters\, and advocates for increased funding and capacity for second-stage
  housing.\n\nTitle: Housing Security for Women Fleeing Violence: The Effec
