Activity details
Providing more victim-survivors who are ready to leave refuges and crisis accommodation with medium-term temporary stable housing and coordinated family violence support, with the aim of supporting them to maintain their tenancy or obtain other independently managed housing.
This activity is part of a broader activity to provide a holistic approach to meeting victim-survivors’ short, medium and long term accommodation needs and reducing the risks of homelessness for victim-survivors.
