The government have announced an additional £35m in-year
funding to help claimants affected by changes to housing benefit in the social
sector who need extra support. The £35m funding consists of:
*£10m transitional payments distributed to all councils
*£5m discretionary housing payment funding for the least
densely populated areas in the country
*a new £20m discretionary housing payment fund
This is in addition to existing discretionary housing
payment funding provided to councils this year that will help support
vulnerable residents as welfare reform changes are introduced. Read more on the Gov.uk website.
