Communities and Local Government commissioned Cambridge Centre for Housing and Planning Research to carry out research on housing support for people at risk of domestic violence.
The main purpose of the study was to provide CLG with firm evidence on the extent to which adults who are neither pregnant nor have any dependant children, and who have to leave their homes because they are fleeing domestic violence, were getting the help they needed from local authorities to ensure they do not have to return to accommodation where they would be at risk of violence.
Domestic violence, assistance for adults without dependent children - Final report
The study explored the extent to which adults without dependent children who have to leave their homes as a result of domestic violence, and who seek housing assistance from a local authority, receive sufficient assistance to ensure they do not have to return to accommodation where they would be at risk of violence.
