Transitional Housing Plus - DV Housing is medium term subsidised rental housing (generally from six months to five years) for women with dependent children experiencing domestic and family violence and experiencing or at risk of homelessness. This type of housing is provided in conjunction with specialist support services to assist stabilising circumstances and facilitating education, training and employment pathways to ensure capability to exit into private market housing. Rent is scaled up over a five year period so that it reaches a benchmark market rate by the last year of support.
