Subject: Freedom of Information Act request. Dave,
You asked for figures on
the area of domestic violence funding.
1) We do not directly fund
any agency as yet, as the new refuge is not due to open until next
year.
2) Indirectly, we fund a domestic violence floating support service
for reallocations, using allocated supporting people monies. This
amounted to £32760 last year and is dependant on numbers helped.
The providers are a women’s DV organisation. We also fund Relate
at £700 pa which is general.
3) For information, we had two homelessness cases last year concerning
domestic violence against men. This is a fairly constant number year
on year. On average this is about 2% of the number of DV cases per
year.
