Flawed universal credit driving social housing tenants into debt and hardship
The National Housing Federation, the Scottish Federation of Housing Associations, Community Housing Cymru and the Northern Irish Federation of Housing Associations, are joining together to warn that the Universal Credit system is “flawed” and causing debt, suffering and hardship for the families they house.
Together these organisations represent more than 1,000 housing associations housing over 6.9m people, and they are urgently calling on the Government to change their flagship benefit policy before it is rolled out to all parts of the country this year.
