As set out previously, since 2020 the Department has provided £393.9 million in funding to local councils for the provision of support in domestic abuse safe accommodation - £16.6 million in 2020/21, £125 million in both 2021/22 and 2022/23 and £127.3 million for 2023/24. The links can be found here.
In addition, we have committed to a further £129.7 million for the delivery of these duties in 2024/25. The link can be found here.
This funding is for support which is available to all domestic abuse victims who are residing in refuges and other types of safe accommodation regardless of their employment status.
The Department does not hold employment and benefits data on individuals in domestic abuse safe accommodation services.

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, whether his Department is taking steps to increase the level of support available to people from Hong Kong who have moved to the UK.
In 2021, the Department launched a UK-wide Welcome Programme to support Hong Kong BN(O) status holders to settle in the UK, and has recently announced continued funding for 2023/24. The Programme continues to provide a comprehensive support package with an easily accessible universal offer as its foundation, progressing to targeted support for those most in need.
The universal offer is open to all BN(O) visa holders in the UK and includes a network of 12 virtual Welcome Hubs across the UK, funding for voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations to deliver national and regional projects and a comprehensive Welcome Pack on GOV.UK. The Programme also funds targeted support provided by local authorities in England on a demand-led basis for those BN(O) individuals who require additional assistance with English language or where there is a risk of destitution.

This covers two financial years of support, with current contracts due to end in March 2023. The full list of funded organisations and their project summaries can be found on GOV.UK here.
To ask His Majesty's Government whether the ‘exhaust all options’ approach, as outlined in the Rough Sleeping Strategy, includes supporting individuals to have their No Recourse to Public Funds conditions lifted through a ‘change of condition’ application.
To ask His Majesty's Government whether the ‘exhaust all options’ approach, as outlined in the Rough Sleeping Strategy, includes supporting individuals to have their No Recourse to Public Funds conditions lifted through a ‘change of condition’ application.
We recognise that rough sleepers with restricted eligibility for homelessness assistance, including individuals with a No Recourse to Public Funds (NRPF) condition, face particular challenges moving away from the streets. The Rough Sleeping Strategy committed to building on our expectation that local authorities exhaust all options to support this group.
This may include supporting individuals with leave under the family and human rights routes who are destitute, at risk of destitution, the welfare of their child is at risk due to their low income or there are other exceptional financial circumstances, to apply, for free, to have their NRPF condition lifted by making a 'change of conditions' application to the Home Office.
To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what assessment he has made of the impact of the no recourse to public funds policy on homelessness levels; and if he will make a statement.

The Government wants to ensure that local areas have the tools they need to support rough sleepers, including non-UK nationals with restricted eligibility, off the street.
We do not collect data on immigration status but do collect information on the nationality of those on the street. The latest Annual Rough Sleeping Snapshot figures for autumn 2021 showed that 25% (610 people) of those sleeping rough on a single night were from outside the UK. We also collect monthly management information about the support for people sleeping rough which showed that as at the end of December 2021, 33% (1590 people) of those in emergency and short-term accommodation were from outside the UK.
We have committed £2 billion over the next three years to tackle homelessness and rough sleeping and the Government has been clear that this funding can be used to help anyone, including those with restricted eligibility, as long as the local authority is acting within the law in doing so.
Through the Rough Sleeping Initiative, we have provided over £200 million to local authorities to provide tailored local interventions for rough sleepers in their area. As part of this funding, local authorities can bid for support for individuals to determine or resolve their immigration status.
We remain clear that councils and partners should exhaust all options within the law to support those who are unable to access statutory homelessness assistance as a result of their immigration status and to ensure everyone has a route off the street, including those with an No Recourse to Public Funds condition.
