Proposed new legislation could help survivors of domestic abuse remain safely in their homes by allowing perpetrators to be removed from social housing.
The proposed changes would give courts and landlords greater powers to evict perpetrators from social housing and, in some cases, transfer a joint tenancy into the survivor’s sole name.
For many survivors, leaving abuse should not mean losing their home, community, or support network. Safe and secure housing is a vital part of recovery.
At Nour, we welcome measures that prioritise survivor safety, stability, and housing security.
