Shifting spending from housing benefit to house building
and tackling low pay and unemployment is the best way of lifting people out of
poverty and cutting the housing benefit bill, according to a new report. The
report, from the CIH, concludes that short-term measures that cut the amount of
benefits people can receive (such as the bedroom tax and the benefit cap) do
nothing to tackle the causes of welfare dependency and are unlikely to have any
significant impact in reversing it.
