Housing officers will need to collect an additional
£7.268bn each year because of welfare ‘reform’. New research by Mobysoft – a
provider of rent collection software to the social housing sector – says rent
being collected directly from tenants by housing officers will increase by
63.1%, on average. The study – which covered around one third of the UK’s
social housing stock, – equates that percentage increase to an additional
£7.268bn being collected nationally each year following the full roll-out of
Universal Credit. Social landlords, already hit by a compulsory 1% rent cut
until 2020, will be required to allocate additional resources to collection
services and manage the cash flow implications of increased rent arrears. Read
