	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/03/2023 answer text <p>The Government engages with a range of stakeholders on issues relating to the Local Housing Allowance, homelessness and temporary accommodation.</p><p>In April 2020, in response to the pandemic, Local Housing Allowance rates were raised to the 30th percentile of market rates. As a result of this increase, over 1.5 million households gained just over £600 per year on average in 2020/21. We have maintained rates at this elevated cash level and will continue to review rates annually.</p><p>Discretionary Housing Payments (DHPs) are also available from local authorities for tenants who face a shortfall in meeting their housing costs. Since 2011 the Government has provided nearly £1.6 billion in DHP funding to local authorities.</p><p>The Government is committed to preventing homelessness where possible. We have allocated £654 million through the Homelessness Prevention Grant which provides funding to enable Local Authorities to invest in prevention activities and helps meet their temporary accommodation costs. This is in addition to the £50m top-up to the Homelessness Prevention Grant for 2022/23 announced in December.</p> answering member printed Baroness Penn question first answered 30/03/2023 10:18:17 answering member 4726 label Biography information for Baroness Penn
