<p>We are currently consulting on the Supported Housing funding model. The Government
is absolutely committed to protecting victims of domestic abuse. Funding for housing
costs under the existing and proposed new models will continue at the same level.
This funding will be ring-fenced and we intend this ring-fence to remain in the long
term and local authorities will be required to do a needs assessment for all supported
housing services, including domestic abuse.</p><p>We are also undertaking a root and
branch review of how domestic abuse services are provided across England. The review
will cover funding for refuges, and will be completed by Summer 2018. Thereafter,
we will make decisions on the future arrangements for domestic abuse services. We
are committed to working closely with the sector, drawing on their expertise and knowledge,
so that we get this right.</p>
