It was 100% funded by the corporate community who wanted to do their part to change the future of those who have escaped DV.The residence was created because of a lack of affordable housing, as well as a void of medium-term accommodation for survivors to live in after leaving a shelter. This gap was reinforcing the belief in survivors that there are only two housing options for those leaving a shelter and they are either returning to the abuser or homelessness.
