About Women’s Housing Alliance
The Victorian Women’s Housing Alliance (WHA) was established in 2019 to address the housing crisis and systemic barriers faced by women and children fleeing family violence.
Our members are leading organisations across the family violence, homelessness, and housing sectors. Together we bring expertise in providing safe, sustainable housing (both transitional and social), alongside specialist family violence and homelessness support, and a range of allied services.
The WHA is committed to driving systemic change and advocating for effective solutions to homelessness for women, trans and gender diverse people and their families.
Our Purpose
To harness our collective voice and expertise to drive systemic change and advocate for a gendered lens to ending homelessness and housing insecurity for all women, trans and gender diverse people and their families.
Our Vision
All women, trans and gender diverse people and their families have safe, secure and affordable housing.
Our Strategy
We work with partners across sectors to push for change, influence decision-makers, and promote safe, secure and affordable housing for women, trans and gender diverse people and their families.
What We Do
We drive collaborative advocacy, listen to the voices of lived experience and promote housing solutions across Victoria. Our members deliver frontline services designed for women, trans and gender diverse people and their children — WHA unites their expertise to shift the system.
Lived Experience Leadership
Designing housing solutions and homelessness responses that truly work for women, trans and gender diverse people and their families can only be achieved when we work with those with lived experiences of these issues.
