The overall grant fund, including funding for refuges, will be ring-fenced indefinitely. Everyone who would be eligible under the current system to have their housing costs met by housing benefit will continue to have their housing costs met through the short-term funding model and no refuge should worry about closing or have any doubts over our commitment to ensure a sustainable funding model for them.</p><p>We are continuing to listen to the sector and are considering feedback through the recent consultation which closed on 23 January, and includes sector comments on the effect of the model on the number of and services women’s refuges in England. In addition, we are undertaking a thorough review of the commissioning and funding of all Domestic Abuse services in England and will be working closely with the domestic abuse sector, drawing on their knowledge and expertise, to make sure we get this right.</p> answering member constituency South Derbyshire answering member printed Mrs Heather Wheeler question first answered 26/03/2018 12:24:33 answering member 4053 label Biography information for Mrs Heather Wheeler
