I am in the process of preparing a one-bedroom apartment in Melbourne for women experiencing domestic violence and who need housing while they save money for a long-term rental.

Stacey’s Sanctuary is for domestic violence victims needing a step-up as they save money for a permanent rental. It is named after Stacey-Ann Tracy who was murdered by my stepfather.

The apartment has been purchased, and I am currently fundraising to undertake repairs, to furnish it and to ensure all costs are covered so women can live rent free for three to six months.

It will be available for women from marginalised communities who do not meet the criteria for immediate housing in Victoria.

I am working with Melbourne domestic violence and housing services to ensure it is available for women who face safety concerns as a result of domestic violence.

If you would like to provide trades & materials for the project, please call 0412 274 801 or email sherele@AustralianFemicideWatch.org
