Title: No Exit Into Homeless Still a Dream? The Housing Needs of Women Leaving Prison

Summary: This discussion paper is a response to the experience of women participating in the WIPAN Mentoring Program, that matches mentors from the community with women exiting prison. Program participants reported the most difficult issue when trying to reintegrate into the community was the lack of access to suitable, long term housing. This personal experience is matched by what is known about the factors that support women reintegrating into the community – that housing is one of the most important factors. Without suitable supported housing options, women releasees are at an increased risk of cycling in and out of prison.
