One of the overarching goals of the Zero Tolerance Strategy to address domestic, sexual and gender-based violence (DSGBV), is ensuring that everyone who needs a refuge space will get one.

Cuan, the DSGBV agency, has been operational since January 2024, and is responsible for coordinating all Government actions set out in the Zero Tolerance strategy.

It works in partnership with the local front-line service providers, local authorities, the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage and the Housing Agency and has streamlined processes in order to accelerate the delivery of domestic violence refuges.

As the Deputy's question relates to work being carried out under the remit of Cuan, I have referred it to the agency for direct response.
