Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many and what proportion of residents of supported housing claim Employment and Support Allowance.
The Department does not collect administrative data on the number and proportion of supported housing residents that also claim Employment and Support Allowance.
The Government recently announced plans for a new flexible funding approach for supported housing. As part of this it has launched two consultations seeking views on the details of the models.
