Join us for a Spotlight Session as we deep dive into the DAHA Homelessness & Supported Accommodation Accreditation Framework tailored specifically for the homelessness and supported accommodation sector.
This session will give you everything you need to know about the framework, how it works, and why it matters — whether you're working in outreach, supported housing, or accommodation-based services. You will also hear from our very first accredited member Single Homeless Project and how this accreditation has shaped the work they do.
🛠️ What is the DAHA Accreditation Framework?
This framework supports homelessness and supported accommodation providers to embed a safe, consistent and effective response to domestic abuse – focusing on meeting the needs of survivor’s experiencing multiple disadvantage, with a strong focus on holding perpetrators to account.
Co-developed with homelessness organisations, the standards reflect the realities and challenges of frontline practice — ensuring they’re achievable, impactful, and survivor-centred.
By embedding these standards, services will be:
- Applying a domestic abuse lens to everyday work
- Enabling early identification of domestic abuse
- Delivering survivor-led, trauma-informed responses
- Playing an active role in the Coordinated Community Response (CCR)
- Preventing escalation and reducing harm
🧩 Who is this for?
Organisations delivering:
- Non-accommodation-based services: rough sleeping outreach teams, floating support services
- Accommodation-based services: 24-hour hostels, semi-independent housing, supported housing, or housing management for non-general housing
- Local authority colleagues: Who are responsible for commissioning homelessness & supported accommodation services – who would like to improve the domestic abuse response across their area.
Whether you’re a frontline worker, manager, commissioner, or strategic lead — this Spotlight will show how DAHA’s framework can strengthen your response to domestic abuse and multiple disadvantage across homelessness and supported accommodation settings.
