A London council has commissioned independent research
into the effects of Universal Credit on social housing tenants. Peabody Trust,
Family Mosaic and Croydon Council have backed the council’s decision to
commission research on the impact of Universal Credit (UC) and will all pay
towards the costs. Labour-led Southwark Council said the full roll-out of
Universal Credit in some parts of the borough, coupled with changes made
through the Housing and Planning Act, has represented “an onslaught on social
housing – and on council tenants in particular”. The research will cost
£56,250, with Peabody, Family Mosaic and Croydon Council contributing £22,500.
The Smith Institute has been commissioned to carry out the research. Read more
