@Fionnuala_Q @ChrisBrillEL

I particularly enjoyed learning about the work of @ExpertLink2019 and DLUHC's Rough Sleeping Lived Experience Forum. The aim of this forum is to embed the voices of people with lived experiences into DLUHC's policy making 3/4

Homelessness Minister @FelicityBuchan spoke this morning @homelessimpact's Impact Forum: London event. Buchan shared that people often found they could only afford up to the 5th percentile of rents, so changing LHA rates to the 30th percentile was a huge investment 1/4

@hmtreasury Very well done to everyone who worked to make this happen.

This government is supporting people on low incomes with housing. We’re raising the Local Housing Allowance across the UK and providing £120m to prevent homelessness. This is in addition to £1bn+ already provided through the Homelessness Prevention Grant between 2022-25.
