About this bill
Committee urges government to assess crisis centre funding
The Standing Committee on Municipal and Local Government Affairs is considering a private member's bill from Margret Hagerup and others on securing predictable financing for crisis centres. The committee majority—Labour Party, Socialist Left Party, Centre Party, Red Party, and Green Party—asks the government to examine how crisis centres' investment financing should be structured and return with proposals when presenting the 2027 budget. The minority from the Progress Party and Conservative Party proposes including crisis centre buildings in the State Housing Bank's investment schemes, with varying levels of detail on renovation, upgrading, and new construction.
