answer text <p>The package of measures announced in this month’s Budget should limit the scope for rent growth to increase Housing Benefit expenditure, particularly in the private rental sector where most Local Housing Allowance rates will be frozen for the next four years.</p><p> </p><p>Local Housing Allowance rates are set within Broad Rental Market Areas. These are determined by rent officers and intend to reflect the areas in which people live and access local services. In areas where rents rise rapidly there should be no presumption that Housing Benefit will always pick up the bill.</p> more like this

answer text <p /> <p><strong> </strong></p><p>To prevent young people slipping straight into a life on benefits, from April 2017 the Government will remove the automatic entitlement to housing support for new claims in Universal Credit from 18-21 year olds who are out of work. This will ensure young people in the benefits system face the same choices as young people who work and who may not be able to afford to leave home.</p><p> </p><p>We will ensure that vulnerable young people who are in need of support for their housing needs continue to receive it. Government will consider the impact in line with our legal obligations as part of that process.</p> more like this
