Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what assessment her Department has made of the impact of the change in Discretionary Housing Payments funding between 2021-22 and 2022-23 on (a) local authorities and (b) registered social landlords.
No such assessment has been made.
Discretionary Housing Payments continue to be an important element of an extensive cross-Government housing support package. Since 2011, the government has provided almost £1.5 billion in Discretionary Housing Payments to local authorities.
