In many instances of modern slavery, victims reside at the place of exploitation, or their accommodation is provided by, or nown to, the trafficker. For this reason, escaping modern slavery often means risking homelessness or destitution and, as such, housing and modern slavery are inextricably linked. Despite it being known as a key issue and requirement for recovery, housing options for survivors of modern slavery is an area that is notably under recorded and researched.

This report is based on findings from consultations with a range of partners and explores the housing landscape for survivors of modern slavery and the challenges associated with this. Working within the confines of the housing crisis, it collates practical recommendations and asks whether learning from the Whole Housing Approach to domestic abuse can
be adapted for the response to modern slavery.
