Unsafe and Unhoused

Unsafe and Unhoused: responding to the domestic and family violence emergency in the North West

This report calls on governments to prioritise the North West region of Tasmania when allocating funding for supports to assist victim-survivors of domestic and family violence.

Unsafe and Unhoused shows that the North West’s current shortage of affordable housing is compromising the safety of victim-survivors.

It recommends funding for additional crisis accommodation in the region, and the delivery of more transitional and social housing suitable for people who have escaped domestic and family violence.

Unsafe and Unhoused also calls for:

– improvements to how agencies including police, share information, assess risks and respond to DFV situations;

– a clear timeline for delivery of a North West ARCH Centre to provide coordinated support for people affected by sexual violence;

– that the supportive residential program ‘Bringing Baby Home’ be made available in the North West; and

– increased funding for specialist family violence counselling services, including children’s counselling.
