Strengthening Practice in Responding to Domestic and Family Violence – a toolkit for community housing providers

Abstract

This toolkit aims to provide our sector with the skills and training needed to assist women fleeing Domestic and Family Violence given that we are on the front-lines of this national epidemic.

As landlords in the social housing system, Community Housing Providers have responsibilities to support their tenants to sustain their tenancies and prevent homelessness.

That’s why Q Shelter has worked with a range of partners to develop a toolkit aimed at increasing community housing provider’s understanding and capacity to respond effectively to applicants, tenants and household members who experience Domestic and Family Violence.
