Question to the Home Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they will clarify what relationship, if any, there is between housing charities and the Home Office with regard to accountability.

The provision of housing for victims of domestic abuse and violence is part of our Ending Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) Strategy. Housing issues relevant to VAWG are led on by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG). The Home Office works closely with MHCLG on their liaison with housing charities to ensure a co-ordinated response to ensuring the housing needs of victims of crimes such as domestic abuse are met.
