Overview:This report investigates the accommodation needs of women affected by domestic and family violence. It finds that there is no single, easily applicable solution to domestic violence related homelessness as all victims have particular, individual needs. Rather, a range of initiatives must be implemented.

* accessible, well-resourced shelters and refuges
* provision of more affordable housing, including social housing and services enabling women to secure housing in the rental market

The report emphasises the need for a continuum of individualised, open-ended support and that support services and housing and accommodation services must be well-integrated. Finally, the report suggests the importance of integrative strategies between local, state and federal governments. This includes the maintenance of existing services and the funding of more and different services to address the gaps in support for women and children experiencing domestic and family violence.
