<p>The Discretionary Housing Payments (DHPs) scheme is administered by Local Authorities
(LAs) who have full discretion as to whether a claimant will receive a monetary award
and set their own list of priorities.</p><p>In order to support LAs to manage the
allocation and administration of DHP awards, DWP produces a detailed guidance manual
for LAs in England and Wales. The manual also includes a good practice guide, which
offers both advice and examples of good practice in supporting vulnerable people.
This manual already recommends LAs support care leavers.</p>
