Produktbeschreibung
This revealing study shows that one third of homeless people are women leaving domestic violence, underlining the need for sensitive policies to be in place for this group. Housing associations are central to the UK government's strategy to improve social housing. Under the Homelessness Act 2002 and the recent Supporting People initiative local authorities are expected to provide support to homeless people, including those at risk of, or experiencing, domestic violence. This study critically examines the role of housing associations in this initiative and how they respond to the needs of women who need to be rehoused because of domestic violence. The book is a rare example of in-depth case-study analysis of the work of housing associations in a period of profound organizational change.
