Social Dev Dept will offer free housing in Domestic Violence cases
It was this year before the Standing Finance Committee (SFC) when the Chief Social Development Officer Mrs Anne Malone-Frett was testifying on the 2016 Budget for her Department.
When asked by Leader of the Opposition Hon Julian Fraser RA (R3) about the procedure, as it relates to emergency housing, the Chief Social Development Officer told the Committee “once we get a domestic violence case and the victim was in need of housing the department automatically moves forward similarly, as it relates to a child.”
Mrs Malone-Frett also told the SFC that if a person was in a situation in which they needed to be housed, funds under public assistance could go towards same.
Rainbow Children's home
Meanwhile, the Member for the Second District Hon Melvin M. Turnbull inquired how was the staffing in relation to the number of children being housed at the Rainbow Children Home.
To this the Chief Social Development Officer, Mrs Malone-Frett, told the SFC that currently there are five children residing at the Home with a total of seven staff members.
The Minister for Health and Social Development and Territorial At Large Member Hon Ronnie W. Skelton asked Mrs Malone-Frett until what age a child was allowed to remain at the Home.
The Officer responded that under the Children and Young Persons Act there was provision for up to 18 years of age.

Have you considered your psychological makeup that accomadated his abuse?. Right after the honeymoon and twelve years on going? Hoping that you and your husband's mental incapacity has not damaged your children. Son becoming an abuser and daughters aiding the behaviour and referring to themselves as abused.
Get some help. You should have walked out instead of praying it out.
I pray in Jesus Nane that your children children down the line . Will nerve fall in the hands of an abuser.
