Although the Canadian Government provided emergency funding to the violence against women and housing and homelessness sectors in response to COVID-19, Canada lacks a national legislative and funding framework to support coordinated prevention efforts. We review the context of IPV and homelessness among women and international policy exemplars. We then propose several starting points for developing a Canadian strategic framework, including adopting inclusive definitions of IPV and homelessness as well as evaluating a broad continuum of IPV-housing options and intersectoral partnership models.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/10778012211034202","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,17]],"date-time":"2021-09-17T08:32:58Z","timestamp":1631867578000},"page":"2587-2599","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":33,"title":["Preventing Gender-Based Homelessness in Canada During the COVID-19 Pandemic and Beyond: The Need to Account for Violence Against Women"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"28","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4216-4305","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alexa R.","family":"Yakubovich","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Toronto - Dalla Lana School of Public Health, Toronto, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Krys","family":"Maki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Women's Shelters Canada, Ottawa, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-10778012211034202","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.avb.2010.07.005"},{"key":"bibr2-10778012211034202","volume-title":"Connecting the circle: A gender-based strategy to end homelessness in Winnipeg","author":"Bernas K.","year":"2019"},{"key":"bibr3-10778012211034202","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.36019\/9780813585871"},{"key":"bibr4-10778012211034202","volume-title":"Violence against women and children during COVID-19\u2014One year on and 100 papers in a fourth research round up","author":"Bourgault S.","year":"2021"},{"key":"bibr5-10778012211034202","volume-title":"Family violence in Canada: A statistical profile, 2018","author":"Burczycka M.","year":"2019"},{"key":"bibr6-10778012211034202","unstructured":"Canada Mortgate and Housing Corporation.
