Women's Housing Alliance

How the Housing Safety Model Was Created

We listened to women, trans and gender diverse people across Victoria about what it was like to receive help from Victoria’s homelessness system. They brought a wide range of experiences such as criminalisation, visa status, disability, race, age, gender identity, sexuality and income. Their insights shaped an early intervention Housing Safety model that applies a gendered focus, providing an urgently needed remedy to the dual challenges of homelessness and gendered violence. Click through the slides to explore the co-design process, the barriers they identified and the model they helped create.

Acknowledgment of country

WHA respectfully acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the lands and waterways and pays our greatest respect to Elders, both past and present. May we continue to decolonise our minds, spirits and communities. Always was, always will be Aboriginal land.
