Notes:	Special issue title 'Out of the fire: domestic violence and homelessness' Also published as DVIRC Newsletter Autumn Edition, February 2001 Describes the role of the Emergency Accommodation Support Enterprise (EASE) arguing the biggest challenge this community managed organisation faces today is a lack of safe, stable and secure accommodation for women and children escaping domestic violence. Suggests a link between sub-standard crisis accommodation, child protection intervention and the likelihood of returning to the abusive relationship. Questions the priorities of a government which will allow victims of trauma and abuse to sleep in a caravan park or on the street, highlighting the increasing demand for and decreasing resources invested into crisis services. Contends that by failing to adequately resource such services, the system continues a cycle of violence and abuse that began in the home.
