The lack of affordable and readily available housing is a major contributing factor to the increase in domestic violence. The affected women and dependent children are forced to choose between continuing to live with their abuser and risking increased violence, or to leave and try surviving on the streets.
Demand for readily available housing for the homeless due to domestic violence has outstripped supply by nearly 200% in some parts of the U.S., making this housing shortage a leading contributor to the increase in domestic violence.
Jiffy Block Systems seeks to provide top quality housing in less time and for less money. Its goal is to help reduce the time it takes to return people to permanent housing and to greatly reduce the negative fallout and stigma of homelessness itself.
