PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Local Housing Allowance: Supported Housing (29 January 2016)

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether the postponement of the introduction of the one per cent rent reduction for supported housing requires the postponement of the introduction of the local housing allowance cap for residents living in supported housing.

Asked by:
Helen Hayes (Labour)

We value the work of the supported housing sector extremely highly and are working closely with them to ensure they are supported as effectively as possible.

As part of this we have commissioned an evidence review of supported housing.

The results of this research will determine our future policy development and any appropriate exemptions.
