Development of Emergency Intimate Partner Violence Shelters
When a woman seeks emergency shelter from an abusive relationship, she may bring her children but rarely companion animals. Companion animals are viewed as problematic, as obstacles to their clients’ safe relocation, falling outside the scope of IPV shelters (who rarely take a co-sheltering approach), and as potential strains on an already resource-stretched social institution. Addressing a gap in the literature about the effects of companion animal policies in social housing on clients and staff, the results are relevant to social service providers and policymakers working with multispecies families, including insights about women and children’s reactions to separation from companion animals, contradictions in related policies, and institutional priorities.

From Isomorphism to Institutional Work: The Advancement of Institutional Theory in Public Administration
Analysing the need for homogenisation of organisations and the incorporation of institutional theory in public administration is a relevant topic, given that it is a process that reflects the historical characteristics of an organisation built by the people who work there and the way in which it establishes relationships with its environment. The need to incorporate existing practices between organisations, which leads them to come closer together and converge, is a phenomenon known in the literature as isomorphism. This entry triggers a review of significant literature in the field, based on sound scientific principles, with the aim of contributing to the sharing of information for a better understanding of the structure and functioning of organisations against the backdrop of institutional isomorphism. In this way, it sought to convey the need to advance institutional theory in public administration based on isomorphism.
