N2  - This research found that largely, the immediate response to DFV is effective and timely [in Australia], although constrained by resources and growing demand. The main challenge facing services and their clients is the lack of pathways by which women can move on from crisis and transitional responses into secure, long-term housing. Government investment in social housing is inadequate and access restricted to those in greatest need. Expenditure on direct housing provision has been replaced by a focus on the provision of individual subsidies (Caulfield 2000; Dodson 2006; Yates 2013). These are not always effective in tight and costly rental markets, and as a result, housing options are limited, and safety and security are not assured. Women and children leaving violence are in diverse circumstances and have a range of needs. The crisis system provides valuable support for many, but the lack of secure, affordable and permanent housing is a system c issue. To meet the needs of vulnerable families, more investment is needed in a range of affordable housing options, including safe, secure and supportive social and affordable housing. The findings of this research have a number of implications for policy and practice.

This research is part of a wider AHURI Inquiry into Integrated housing support for vulnerable families. (From the website). Follow the links for related information. Record #6670
