The Taxpayers Burden — Housing Sector An investigation into how millions of pounds in taxpayers’ money are paid to housing associations through Housing Benefit, with little evidence that councils are scrutinising or challenging the servic...

Over £41m in taxpayers’ money has been paid to a single housing association over the last three years.

Thanks to Housing, Communities and Local Government committee for inviting @independentage to give evidence on experiences of older #privaterenters. Positive changes on horizon but action needed to increase #HousingBenefit and pass the Renters Rights Bill asap www.parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/...

I wonder if #NigelFarage is assuming #RachelReeves will largely restore #WFP and end #2childcap on #UniversalCredit and #HousingBenefit (HB is now only available for elderly) and find funding for it and so in a year he won't be expected to find so much in savings in order to fund it!

Our London Lettings Network is currently advertising over 200 properties that accept housing benefit, offering a centralized, user-friendly platform for both service users and caseworkers.
