The way the Local Housing Allowance is calculated is widely understood to be a factor in causing and exacerbating homelessness in Wales. In many areas, the support provided is fair below the amount needed to rent in the private rental sector. Our new report will detail the extent of this lack of support, as well as the numerous other barriers faced by people in receipt of housing benefit when seeking to find a home
