On 20 November 2023 Women’s Housing Ltd’s Women’s Justice Diversion Program (WJDP) received the Award for ending homelessness among Diverse and over-Represented Groups from Council to Homeless Persons.
The WJDP was developed in response to reports of women being refused bail and release orders due to homelessness. The Program is designed to extend housing support to homeless women on remand and reduce the likelihood of re-presentation to custody. Congratulations, Sarah Sheppard and the WJDP Team!
Women’s Housing Ltd would like to congratulate the other winners of the day and recognise the incredible work the organisations and individuals are achieving, especially those with lived experience in homelessness.
