NEW INFLUENTIAL RESEARCH ON REPOSSESSIONS PUBLISHED
A new research report from CIH's consultancy arm, ConsultCIH, has produced new insight into the characteristics and circumstances of people faced with their homes being repossessed. The research is likely to make a major contribution to the prediction and prevention of repossessions in the future. The findings have identified valuable patterns of information around factors such as postcodes, causes, lenders, court activity, advice services and support schemes.
HOUSING BENEFIT RESEARCH
The government is reforming the way that Housing Benefit is paid in the private rented sector. Currently, this benefit is usually paid directly to private landlords rather than claimants. But from 2008, Housing Benefit will be paid to private rented claimants unless they are vulnerable or in rent arrears. This report explores the issue from a claimant perspective, drawing on interviews with private and social housing tenants. It suggests that people are happiest with their current payment method, but that the proposed changes may not be as problematic as some commentators have suggested
