star this property answer text <p>There are no plans to lift the four year Local Housing Allowance (LHA) freeze before April 2020.</p><p> </p><p>The Government recognises however that the impact of this measure varies across the country, especially in areas of high rental growth and in view of this 30 per cent of the savings from the LHA Freeze are being recycled to create Targeted Affordability Funding. This funding is used to increase LHA rates in areas where local rents have diverged the most. For example in 2017/18, 48 LHA rates have been increased by 3 per cent. Further Targeted Affordability Funding will be made available in 2018/19 and 2019/20.</p><p> </p><p>In addition since 2011, the Government has provided around £900 million in Discretionary Housing Payments to local authorities to protect vulnerable claimants and support households affected by different welfare reforms including the freeze to LHA rates.</p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>The Department for Work and Pensions is working with a range of key stakeholders and with other Departments to take forward the framework we set out in <em>Improving Lives: Helping Workless Families.</em> We are making progress on delivering its objectives. For example, Public Health England will run a trial of the Individual Placement and Support approach, starting in spring 2018. And our vital work on reducing parental conflict is boosted by the Chancellor’s budget announcement to increase available funds up to £39m until 2021.</p><p> </p><p>As part of this work, we also published two delivery tools – a local data report and a Family Evidence Resource – to enable local commissioners and practitioners working with families and children to understand and act on the factors of disadvantage in their local area. We continue to engage with local authorities and others to test, refine and promote these resources.</p><p> </p><p>In addition to our statutory duty to publish annual data on the statutory indicators of parental worklessness and children’s educational achievement, we will also publish the latest data on the non-statutory indicators each year, in line with the commitment set out in <em>Improving Lives: Helping Workless Families. </em></p>
