| dc.description.notes | The Homeless Persons’ Legal Clinic (HPLC) is a project of the Public Interest Law Clearing House (PILCH) in Victoria. The HPLC produced a report in 2007 summarising their research project which assessed the legal needs of women at risk of homelessness escaping family violence. It found that women’s legal needs fell into 2 categories: crisis legal needs and post-crisis legal needs.<br/ ><br/ >In 2009 the HPLC established a specialist women’s clinic hosted by St Kilda Crisis Contact Centre. This clinic assisted women in their post-crisis legal needs i.e. credit and debt issues, victim compensation, immigration, discrimination, fines, criminal law, tenancy and mortgage issues. However, clients increasingly needed legal assistance in the areas of family law, family violence and child protection matters which the HPLC could not provide.<br/ ><br/ >Dividing Walls:is the result of the HPLC Families Project; it identifies and evaluates the unmet crisis legal needs in the areas of family law, family violence and child protection of women and their children in Victoria who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. It contains data concerning the available legal services provided by community legal centres (CLCs) for clients escaping domestic violence and makes recommendations which address some of the gaps and barriers to accessing legal services in the areas of family law, family violence and child protection for women experiencing or at risk of homelessness. | en |
