Gloucester City Homes (GCH) was said by Labour leader
Jeremy Corbyn to have “evicted one in eight of all of its tenants because of
Universal Credit”. GCH says the evictions quoted by Corbyn relate to eight of
the current 66 UC claimants at September 2017 – compared to GCH’s overall
eviction rate of one tenant for the remaining 4,442 tenanted homes. Last month,
alongside 137 other housing providers, GCH provided an update to the Commons
Select Committee; Universal Credit Inquiry with information based on its
experience to date. The association concedes that this was the likely source of
the Corbyn claim. Read more on 24housing.
