This paper provides information on the Danger Assessment and identifies key considerations that should inform the use of this tool by domestic violence (DV) programs in the housing advocacy context. In an attempt to maximize scarce housing resources, homelessness programs and victim service agencies, as well as community Continuums of Care (CoC) receiving U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funding, are looking for tools that aid in the very difficult process of housing prioritization and placement of survivors in appropriate and safe housing.
