Domestic abuse is a key driver of homelessness. The housing workforce must have the training and capacity required to deal with cases effectively and compassionately. The government has increased the funding available to support victims into safe accommodation but it falls far short of what is needed. We are concerned that the significant funding shortfall is putting 50 people’s lives at risk. Tackling violence against women and girls is rightly one of the government’s key missions. We therefore call on it to urgently review the level of funding it is providing to support victims of domestic abuse. (Recommendation, Paragraph 92)
