We're the Domestic Abuse Housing Alliance
The Domestic Abuse Housing Alliance (DAHA) is an alliance of over 150 members comprised of registered social landlords and local authorities.
We are the leading specialist domestic abuse organisation supporting housing providers to improve their response to domestic abuse, through our membership model, accreditation framework and training packages.
We use our practice-based experience to work alongside partners across the housing and domestic abuse sector to influence policy and national decision making through our DAHA-led National Domestic Abuse & Housing Policy and Practice Group.
Our model for a housing response to domestic abuse is nationally recognised as best practice, through the Domestic Abuse Act Statutory Guidance 2022, and is endorsed by the Domestic Abuse Commissioner for England & Wales, Nicole Jacobs.
“Since its launch in 2014, the Domestic Abuse Housing Alliance (DAHA) has driven forward significant positive change in the housing sector’s response to domestic abuse. I am proud to have been one of the founding members of DAHA in my previous role as Chief Executive of Standing Together Against Domestic Violence, and I am pleased to endorse these new accreditation standards which I would encourage all local authorities and housing providers to adopt.”
Nicole Jacobs, DA Commissioner England & Wales
DAHA is leading the housing sector's response to domestic abuse
The Department for Levelling up Housing & Communities (DLUHC) endorses DAHA as national best practice in the national Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) strategy:
"Domestic abuse has a devastating effect on lives and communities and this Government has put forward proposals for new laws which will transform our approach to this terrible crime...
...I welcome this initiative led by the Domestic Abuse Housing Alliance and encourage housing organisations to take a proactive approach to supporting survivors of domestic abuse."
Communities Minister, Nigel Adams, August 2018
