Specialist homelessness services clients experiencing family and domestic violence: interactions with out-of-home care and income support
Web article |
This article provides initial exploratory analysis of available linked data. It shows that 2 in 5 specialist homelessness services (SHS) clients who experienced family and domestic violence (FDV) had received Parenting Payment Single during 2011–2021, more than double that for other (non-FDV) clients. As the majority of SHS clients who experienced FDV were female, this suggests the clients receiving the Parenting Payment Single were more commonly single mothers with young children.
