Bordeaux Métropole: Alliance of Four Municipalities to Secure Emergency Housing for Domestic Violence Victims

Four municipalities in Bordeaux Métropole have joined forces in an official partnership aimed at strengthening reception and emergency housing mechanisms for victims of domestic violence, providing them with safe havens.

Joint Coordination to Secure Emergency Housing

The agreement was concluded between the municipalities of Le Haillan, Saint-Médard-en-Jalles, Eysines, and Mérignac, pooling around forty housing units into a shared framework to accelerate and facilitate the emergency sheltering of individuals suffering from domestic violence.

Measures to Ensure Address Confidentiality

As part of reinforcing security measures accompanying the accommodation, a new system allows the concealment of victims' new residential addresses on tax documents, a step intended to prevent abusers from tracking victims' locations and to protect them from subsequent threats.
