Housing Rights Resource: For Survivors of Domestic Abuse & their advocates

Written By Standing Together

This resource contains useful information about housing and your legal rights. It is written for women who are experiencing or have experienced domestic abuse. Specialist domestic abuse services may also find it useful as a guide for the people they support.

In this resource, you will find links to videos explaining different areas of the housing law. These were all recorded with a legal expert. These videos are accompanied by further information and helpful resources that you can use to address any issues you are facing.

This booklet was designed for people who participated in the ‘Housing rights course for survivors of domestic abuse’.

The course was delivered in May 2021 by Law for Life, with support from the Domestic Abuse Housing Alliance (DAHA) and Surviving Economic Abuse, and funded by the Winston Churchill Memorial Trust. It was delivered directly to women with experience of domestic abuse, with the support of specialist domestic abuse services.
