London Whole Housing Support Partnership
Our Domestic Abuse Housing Project, delivered in partnership with Advance through the London Whole Housing Approach, offers practical and holistic support to women experiencing domestic abuse who are facing housing difficulties and instability.
The project provides support with housing applications, accessing safe accommodation, advocacy with housing officers and statutory services, outreach support for court appointments, and guidance on housing rights and options. We work closely with survivors to ensure they are supported throughout the process and able to make informed decisions about their safety and future housing needs.
A key aspect of the project is addressing cultural and language barriers that may prevent women from accessing mainstream services or understanding their rights. Through culturally sensitive and trauma-informed support, we help women feel safer, more empowered, and better able to navigatecomplex housing systems while recovering from abuse.
The project covers several London boroughs, including Westminster, Kensington and Chelsea, Hammersmith & Fulham, Brent, Harrow, Hackney, Havering, Ealing, Hounslow, Hillingdon, and Camden.
