star this property answer text <p>Universal Credit payments are deliberately designed to mirror the world of work, where people take responsibility for budgeting their own income in order to be financially independent. In turn, this helps those not already working to prepare for moving back into employment. For claimants needing additional advice and support with personal budgeting, help is available from work coaches and case managers.</p><p> </p><p>Alternative Payment Arrangements (APAs), such as a managed payment to landlord (MPTL), are available to enable the housing costs element to be paid directly to the landlord if the tenant is likely to have difficulty in managing their rent payments, or is in rent arrears. They can be requested by a claimant at any point during their claim. APAs will only be considered where a lack of financial capability poses a risk to the claimant, or their family, and the decision to implement one is assessed on a case by case basis.</p><p> </p><p>Staff work closely with claimants and are trained to gauge a claimant’s financial needs at their initial interview, and throughout their claim, based on their personal circumstances.</p>

star this property answer text <p>The Department does not centrally collate data on the number of customers who are homeless which would be necessary to inform such an estimate and to do so would create a disproportionate cost to the Department.</p><p> </p><p>We know that there are varied and complex reasons behind a person’s homelessness. That is why it is DWP’s priority to ensure that people experiencing homelessness, or at risk, get the appropriate support they need to stabilise their lives and move into work.</p><p> </p><p>In order to fully evaluate the factors which cause homelessness, we commissioned a feasibility study and rapid evidence review into the causes of homelessness, in partnership with the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government. The research included a rapid evidence assessment on the causes of homelessness in the UK, a review of models of homelessness developed outside of Government, and a feasibility study that provided advice on the development of quantitative models of homelessness that could be used for policy appraisal. We are currently working on next steps.</p><p> </p><p>The publications can be found here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/causes-of-homelessness-and-rough-sleeping-feasibility-study" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/causes-of-homelessness-and-rough-sleeping-feasibility-study</a></p><p> </p><p>We provide a range of support to help people who are homeless or at risk move closer to, or into, work. This includes safeguards to help people make a Universal Credit claim; access to the Jobcentre Plus employment offer with individual tailoring; and priority access to the Work and Health Programme. Work coaches are legally required to offer a voluntary referral to claimants they consider may be homeless or threatened with homelessness to a Local Housing Authority of the claimant’s choice.</p><p> </p><p>We are supporting the manifesto commitment to halve rough sleeping by 2022 and eradicate it altogether by 2027 through the Homelessness and Rough Sleeping Reduction Taskforce, and commitments set out in the recent Rough Sleeping Strategy.</p><p> </p>
