Crisis Accommodation
The crisis accommodation is first and foremost a safe space for vulnerable women and children who have fled or fleeing domestic abuse – providing a secure place to start the process of recovery from domestic abuse and to prevent homelessness. We provide client centered domestic abuse floating support, housing related support and access specialist support.
Whilst in our Crisis Accommodation, they are allocated a Crisis Housing Worker and a Crisis Domestic Abuse Worker throughout their duration within our service. After moving on from the accommodation into their own independent accommodation, they are offered the choice to continue to receive Domestic Abuse floating support.
