Notes:	Journal of the DVRC Inc. Outlines nature of homelessness among young women (aged 14-25), and the current government responses to the problem. Young women’s homelessness is linked to escaping sexual violence, low or inadequate incomes and the lack of housing and support options. Shortage of affordable or appropriate housing forces many young women to remain in abusive relationships. Key government responses need to acknowledge unique experiences of young women. However, the Queensland government has no housing policies relating specifically to young women. Discusses barriers to housing options, including shortage of gender specific housing and exclusion from SAAP accommodation services.
