Desperate houselives - overview
• Welfare reforms since 2010, specifically changes to housing benefit
• Local impacts of these changes
Details
• Cutting the local housing allowance (LHA) for each broad rental market area (BRMA) from the median rent to the 30th percentile
• Uprating the local housing allowance rate in line with the Consumer Prices Index (measure of inflation which does NOT include housing costs). In 2012, this change to uprating the benefit by 1% per year until 2016 (rents currently increasing by around 2% per year).
Simple questions
• Where in the sub-region can low income households afford to live?
• Where will they be able to afford to live in the future?
