On 18 September 2019 Women’s Housing Ltd and Emma House Domestic Violence Services Incorporated (EHDVSI) joined renewable energy developer, Tilt Renewables, to announce a unique community alliance. The Alliance will deliver new housing for women escaping family violence through a new ‘Safe Housing Program’, a key initiative of Tilt Renewables’ Dundonnell Wind Farm Benefit Sharing Plan.
The Safe Housing Program will enable greater access to housing specifically for women and children from south-west Victoria who are at risk of homelessness due to family violence.
As a key partner in the new program, Tilt Renewables will donate $500,000 toward the construction of Women’s Housing Ltd new long-term, 24-unit development in Bayswater, set to open early next year.
