Funding
The research was undertaken as part of the international project ‘From Street-to-Home’, funded by the EU (Directorate General Justice of the European Commission, Daphne Programme).The aim of the project was to investigate the lack of an integrated approach to housing and ongoing social support for women at highest risk of being victims of violence.The project comprised five working partners,each of whom was charged with conducting the research in their respective countries (Bulgaria,Germany, Norway, Spain and the UK).The partnership reflected the diversity of the EU and the European Economic Area and the interviewers were experienced researchers who were familiar with the culture, traditions and languages of their own countries. However, the research was underpinned by a concern to hear the voices of the most vulnerable women about their experiences of gender-based violence and accessing housing and other services. Where possible, a participatory research approach was taken in which researchers worked with professionals in the field (Skinner et al,2005: 11) to identify key areas to explore with women with multiple needs. This work was supported by the Directorate General Justice of the European Commission, Daphne Programme, under Grant Agreement Number: JUST/2011/DAP/AG/3127.
