The benefit freeze is pushing low income families to the
brink, with more than nine in ten homes for private rent (94%) too expensive
for those on housing benefit. And new NHF research reveals two thirds of these families
(65%) are in work. Now, NHF is calling on the government to:
·
End the freeze and increase LHA payments so that
they cover at least the bottom 30% of private rent homes in any local area
·
Commit to investing £12.8bn annually in building
new social housing, so that fewer families have to depend on unaffordable and
insecure privately rented accommodation
