You might want to consider just getting her a heavy practice mute like this one. She won't have to worry about disturbing others, and she won't have to switch violins. As a violinist, I know it's hard to go back and forth between violins, and I have avoided getting an electric violin because I have heard they can have a negative effect on your intonation.
I mean, the easy solution costs about $15: https://www.amazon.com/Heavy-Brass-Practice-Violins-Small/dp/B000F3KTGM
Let me ask this, though- how much are you willing to pay for a space to practice? Your budget for that will really be what dictates your options. For instance, if you're willing to pay $1,200 every year, you can technically, as I said, join an ensemble at the College of Charleston (1 credit hour per semester) and you'll be allowed to use their practice rooms. You would have to actually be willing to sign up for a college class and attend it, though. If you're willing to pay somebody $50 under the table every week, then you could probably find a friend with a garage that's willing to loan it to you whenever to practice in. If you have no money, there are woods.
