Interpretation
Specialist homelessness services agencies aim to support clients experiencing homelessness to transition into secure housing. A decrease in the number of women and children affected by family and domestic violence (FDV) who experience persistent homelessness indicates improvements in access to longer-term housing to support recovery.
Although the majority of women and children affected by family and domestic violence are victim-survivors, the data may include those who needed, were provided with, or referred to perpetrator support services.
Outcome: 6 Women are safe and respected in all settings, and experience economic, social, political and cultural equality
Sub-outcome: 6.4 Women have economic security and their social, cultural and economic needs are met, including being supported to access affordable, accessible and safe housing, from crisis accommodation to transitional and long-term housing
Indicator: Increased housing security for victim-survivors of FDV
Baseline: 2022–23
