Housing associations - rehousing women leaving domestic violence Résumé

Housing associations - rehousing women leaving domestic violence: New challenges and good practice Cathy Davis

Housing associations are central to the government's strategy to improve social housing yet have no direct statutory responsibility for rehousing homeless people. This study critically examines the role of housing associations in responding to the needs of women who have become homeless due to domestic violence. Housing associations - rehousing women leaving domestic violence will fill a gap in the literature for academic staff and students interested in housing studies, social policy, sociology, women's studies, political studies and organisation/management studies; provide valuable guidance to staff in housing associations and local authorities working in general needs housing, supported housing and homeless services; and provide policy makers with a useful introduction to key issues.

... clearly presented and useful for students of the development of policy in practice in housing and domestic violence, and for people working in these areas. Journal of Social Policy
This book is essential reading for anyone whose work and study touches on the areas of domestic violence and housing. However, it is much more than this, providing insight into the ways in which the government's modernisation agenda impacts on housing policy and specifically housing associations. The graphic effects of these policies on managers, frontline staff and consumers of housing services is a wonderful case study of the 'modernisation agenda' in action.
