This prospectus provides prospective bidders with information on how to apply for funding and how the assessment process will work.
MHCLG secured £10 million for domestic abuse safe accommodation charities as part of a £76 million government package of support to charities supporting vulnerable people including domestic abuse victims.
We launched the £10 million Emergency Support Fund for charitable domestic abuse services on 7 May 2020, welcoming 112 bids. We have announced that £8.15 million funding will be granted to 147 service providers through 103 successful bids across all regions of England.
The fund will help ensure that:
- Safe accommodation services can continue operating and keep bedspaces open for victims and their children fleeing from abuse during COVID-19 emergency.
- Safe accommodation services can help more victims access these life-saving services.
We are now re-opening the remaining £1.85 million fund for applications on a rolling ‘first come first served’ basis. The Fund Prospectus remains the same, with minor updates and clarifications to help bidders in submitting their applications.
We will continue to accept bids until the funding has been exhausted or until 20 July 2020, whichever is sooner.
