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>
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>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4053", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Mrs Heather Wheeler"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "South Derbyshire"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Mrs Heather Wheeler"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-01-11", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-01-11T18:41:28.92Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "7"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Communities and Local Government"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Communities and Local Government"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2017-12-21", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Supported Housing: Finance"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what assessment he has made of the potential effect of his Department's proposed new funding model for short-term supported housing services on the number of women and children who are turned away due to lack of provision.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/298", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Steve McCabe"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Birmingham, Selly Oak"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Steve McCabe"} ], "uin" : "120933"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/778768", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Communities and Local Government"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/778768/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
