Domestic Abuse Act 2021 To request a supplementary expenditure budget to support work around the new statutory safe accommodation duty within the new Domestic Abuse Act, 100% of which will be grant funded. Minutes: The Executive gave consideration to a report which outlined work being progressed with funding received from the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) to support work around the new statutory safe accommodation duty within the new Domestic Abuse Act. The following points were noted:
· Funding of £32,730 had been received for this financial year and it was hoped that further funding would be available for the following two years, but this was likely to be a lower sum; · Whilst there was a pressure on housing stock, victims of domestic abuse were offered safe accommodation where appropriate · A large amount of work was undertaken to encourage victims of domestic abuse to seek support. Officers agreed to ensure information was readily available in the community centres within the borough.
It was moved by Councillor Mullaney, seconded by Councillor Crooks and
RESOLVED –
(i) The work in relation to domestic abuse be endorsed;
(ii) A supplementary expenditure budget of £32,730 funded by a supplementary grant income budget, be approved. |
