Abstract
Domestic and family violence (DFV), mental illness and problematic alcohol and other drug use are significant
risk factors for homelessness, and significant policy concerns in their own right. It is timely to review policies and
programs designed to address them, in part because of the recent increase in visibility and resources attached
to these responses. Emerging as a key policy concern in recent years, DFV is now subject to significant reforms
designed to improve the safety of women and children (Council of Australian Governments 2010). Substantive
national and state-based initiatives have incorporated strategic and systemic reform to promote the provision
of more integrated, ‘seamless’ services to women and children affected by violence.
Evidence is emerging that people are benefiting from these reforms, with services becoming more attuned
to identifying and meeting housing and other needs in a timely manner. However, this research adds to other
evidence that there are critical shortfalls, including in the housing and homelessness sectors, and some groups
of people are not served well.
