Written by Jo Ozga, Housing Development Worker, Scottish Women's Aid
Jo Ozga, Housing Development Worker, Scottish Women's Aid outlines the current legal and social rented housing situation for people who experience domestic abuse and become homeless as a result of it, particularly women. She focuses on the way in which priority need can work for and against them and discusses why priority need by itself is not enough to ensure a suitable permanent housing outcome for many.
