Meet the property investors choosing to rent their homes to a survivor

Retirees Robert and Loretta Woolford lease their investment property to women and children escaping domestic and family violence through the Priority Project, a program aiding survivors in securing long-term private rental housing.
The Priority Project carefully screens tenants like any regular application, reviewing income, rental history, and references, ensuring tenants motivated to maintain stable housing.
Most tenants transitioning from crisis accommodation sustain their tenancies, with few lease breaks mostly for positive reasons, while demand for these rentals exceeds the supply of participating landlords.
The program operates alongside wraparound services such as counseling and child advocacy, supporting women to rebuild their lives after escaping violence.
