Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how her Department plans to ensure that new supported housing accesses funding and exemptions from universal credit for new occupants.
I refer to the Written Ministerial Statement made on 9th August 2018 which stated that we will maintain Housing Benefit for all Supported Housing.
This reflects the particular needs of these vulnerable groups of people and the government’s commitment to protect them.
