One leading charity reports of a case in which a woman had to sleep in her car for two weeks, during which time the council phoned her abusive ex-partner to ask if she could move back in. In another case, a woman was awarded £500 after the council failed to offer her permanent secure housing for ten months after she fled an abusive partner, despite admitting it had a duty to house her.

    Technically they’re being made homeless by their abusive partners, the councils just done have the money to rehouse them due to years of underfunding from the Tories.
