Advocacy on homelessness
McAuley has led work that researched the issue of why women so often become homeless because of family violence, and have worked with a coalition of organisations to promote an approach called ‘Safe at Home’.
McAuley uses our insights about the unique aspects of homelessness affecting women to advocate for solutions.
