Question:
To ask the Minister for Communities to confirm the average amount of time a victim of Domestic Violence is housed in temporary accommodation before securing a permanent tenancy.

Answer:

The biannual Northern Ireland Homelessness Bulletin April – September 2024, published on 12 December 2024, contains information on a range of areas relating to homelessness and is available at: https://www.communities-ni.gov.uk/publications/northern-ireland-homelessness-bulletin-april-september-2024

Table 3.5 contains details on the duration of temporary accommodation placements; however, I am unable to provide a breakdown of the average length of stay for victims of domestic violence.
