At CIH it's our belief that everyone has aright to a safe, affordable and secure home, and yet we know for the victims and survivors of domestic abuse, including children, home is often the most dangerous place. By its very nature, domestic abuse is a housing issue, directly impacting on a survivor's right for a life free of violence and abuse and the right to a safe and stable home.
