["Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy, Volume 26, Issue 2, August 2026. ", "\nAbstract\nEconomic abuse is a distinct form of intimate partner violence. This study explored the links between economic abuse, housing insecurity, and homelessness for mothers of young children. We used a sequential explanatory mixed methods design that included quantitative analysis of survey data collected from 195 mothers enrolled in home visiting programs in one Midwestern state, followed by qualitative analysis of in‐depth interviews with 33 mothers who reported experiencing economic abuse in the past year. Quantitative findings revealed that experiences of economic abuse were associated with specific housing insecurity concerns, and economic abuse predicted total housing insecurity problems and likelihood of homelessness. Qualitative findings aligned with and deepened the quantitative results and revealed four themes including economic abuse contributing to poor quality housing, persistent precarious housing, gendered challenges of doubling up, and cumulative insecurity resulting in homelessness. Together, these findings underscore the inclusion of economic abuse in practices and policies to reduce housing insecurity and improve housing security, particularly for mothers of young children. These findings also inform practice directions for home visiting programs and additional supports for parents of young children.\n\nPublic significance statement\nEconomic abuse is a form of intimate partner violence that involves the control of a partner's access to and use of economic resources. Experiences of economic abuse are linked to housing instability and homelessness among mothers with young children. Practice and policy solutions that address both economic abuse and housing insecurity are needed to effectively address these interconnected challenges for families with young children.\n"]
