PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(3 December 2024)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if she will take steps to increase the funding for services supporting victims of domestic abuse.

Asked by:
Neil Duncan-Jordan (Labour)

Answer

On 28 November, the Government announced a funding increase of £30 million to the Domestic Abuse Safe Accommodation Grant, bringing the total investment in this Grant to £160 million in 2025-26. This funding will enable local authorities in England to continue to invest in essential support within frontline safe accommodation services, ensuring victims of domestic abuse can access the support they need.

This is part of the Government’s commitment to tackling domestic abuse, and our manifesto commitment to halve violence against women and girls within a decade, with improved support for victims.

Funding from April 2026 will be a matter for the Spending Review.
