Victims of Domestic violence rely on social housing options in order to safely separate from abusive cohabitations. However, the supply of social housing is increasingly scarce, making it difficult for many victims to separate.
Alan Morris, Professor at the Institute of Public Policy and Governance at the University of Technology Sydney, joins us to discuss social housing availability and the benefits they provide.
