Answer from Hansard
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government (Rushanara Ali)
Local authorities in England must ensure that support is available in safe accommodation for domestic abuse victims who need it. My Department has allocated £160 million for 2025-26, a £30 million uplift from the previous year. That funding is for local authorities to commission lifesaving support for victims in safe accommodation.
