Beyond the front door: Domestic abuse, gambling harm and the hidden risks driving tenancy breakdown
Domestic abuse is one of the most significant but least visible drivers of housing instability. This important fringe session brings together frontline supported housing practice, new academic research, survivor‑informed system expertise and place‑based partnership working to explore how domestic abuse intersects with gambling harm, addiction and financial control.
Housing teams often deal with the symptoms - rent arrears, antisocial behaviour, safeguarding concerns and evictions - without seeing the underlying causes. Our speakers will discuss how and where these hidden harms show up, and what providers can realistically do to identify risk earlier, respond more safely and prevent tenancy breakdown.
