Activity details
Funding the Safe Steps and McAuley Community Services for Women collaborative crisis accommodation model for high-risk households with very high support needs.
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.
Implementation progress update
The Supported Emergency Motel Accommodation Pilot was conducted in a Victorian Government funded partnership between Safe Steps and McAuley Community Services for Women from June to December 2022. This initiative provided supported emergency accommodation to women and children escaping family violence who were not able to access supported crisis or refuge accommodation.
Lessons learned from this model have been applied across various family violence crisis accommodation and support programs.
