Supporting people into work: the next stage of Housing Benefit reform – public consultation
This consultation seeks views to inform our reforms of Housing Benefit. Our proposals will ensure that Housing Benefit is better able to help people into work, is fairer, more efficiently delivered and represents good value for money for the taxpayer.
We would like to hear from all who are interested, including tenants, landlords, local authorities, housing associations, and advice workers. The consultation applies to England, Wales and Scotland, but we would be interested in views from any source.
