Local Housing Allowance: Supported Housing
(asked on 4th July 2016) - View Source
Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what estimate he has made of the potential savings to the public purse from applying the Local Housing Allowance cap to supported housing; and whether he has carried out an impact assessment for that policy.
This question was answered on 7th July 2016
This policy is still under development and full impact and equality impact assessments will be undertaken in due course.
This measure is not being introduced until April 2018 and only then where new tenancies have been taken out or existing tenancies renewed from 1 April 2016, (or 1 April 2017 for supported housing).
