Official government figures show 70 per cent of councils
committed to pay out less than half their emergency hardship fund pots by the
midpoint of the financial year. The figures confirm research by Inside Housing
published in November, which found councils were on course to hand back
millions of unspent discretionary housing payment funds in April. The
Department for Work and Pensions figures, released on Friday, show one in six
councils have committed to pay out less than a quarter of its pot. Download
