Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Steve Baker (Conservative). It was answered by Steve Webb (Liberal Democrat) on Monday, 31 March 2014 on behalf of the Department for Work and Pensions.
Crisis Loans (Homeless People)
- Question
-
What recent assessment he has made of the effect of withdrawing crisis loans on homeless people wishing to raise rent in advance to secure housing.
- Answer
-
Crisis loans have been withdrawn, but DWP budgeting loans are still available for rent in advance. There is also a range of support available through local authorities, including discretionary housing payments and local welfare provision, and, as I am sure my hon. Friend knows, there is a rent deposit scheme in his constituency administered by Wycombe district council.
