During the Covid-19 pandemic, Welsh Government has prioritised funding for VAWDASV support in different ways to meet changing needs:
- £1.2 million capital funds for disbursed community based accommodation to allow move-on, and reduce the demand on refuges
- £0.25 million revenue, repurposed to meet the immediate needs of Covid-19
An additional £1.575 million revenue, announced in June, is being prioritised to help service providers to prepare for the anticipated surge in demand as restrictions are eased, and particularly to enable face to face services to resume.
