A briefing for services about the particular issues affecting women who are homeless, and what sevices can do to respond to their needs. Includes a resource list and details of specialist agencies.
Supporting women who are homeless
Women experiencing homelessness are typically less visible on the streets than men, more likely to be hidden homeless, and more likely to have experienced trauma and abuse both before and during homelessness, including separation from children. This scoping report (2019) and briefing (2017) explore how services can develop a gender-informed approach, in order to improve outcomes for the women they support.
