More than a million vulnerable people on low incomes are
being driven deeper into poverty after being shunted into the private rental
sector due to an acute shortage of social accommodation. A report commissioned
by the Nationwide Foundation, an independent charity, says that the shortfall
in social housing has been met by a doubling in size of the private rented
sector in the past 25 years. But this has forced more households, many on
benefits with dependent children or a disabled family member, to pay
significantly more for unsuitable housing. Download the report from the
University of York website.
