Homelessness: Domestic Abuse
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, when his Department will publish the toolkit on homelessness prevention and support for survivors of domestic abuse; and what engagement his Department has held with the domestic abuse sector on developing that toolkit.
Answered by Alison McGovern
My Department will publish the toolkit on homelessness prevention and support for survivors of domestic abuse over the coming year.
The toolkit will draw on the Whole Housing Approach piloted by Standing Together Against Domestic Abuse and our evaluation of sanctuary schemes, which provide solutions for survivors who wish to remain in their homes, and provide guidance and best practice support on how to keep survivors safe in their homes wherever possible, and how to deliver trauma-informed homelessness support for victims of domestic abuse.
