Housing Associations & Councils

Services for Social Landlords

Social Landlords currently provide around 70% of housing stock. In many cases, a majority of their tenants are at least partially reliant on Housing Benefit and, more recently, Universal Credit, to assist them paying rent.  This part of the website has been designed specifically for social landlords (councils & housing associations) and others, involved in the provision of housing and/or support.

You’ll find the site offers the most up-to-date information on Universal Credit, the Benefits Cap, Discretionary Housing Payments and other related Welfare Reform changes. Since August 2013, access has been limited to registered members who pay an annual charge of £240, allowing 5 users (or, less than £1.00 per week per user) or £360 allowing an unlimited number of users per organisation. Membership guarantees: direct receipt of our regular updating bulletins, full access to the various sections covering, legislation, DWP guidance, UC calculator, and a Q & A or discussion forum, where members can table questions, respond to other member enquiries, and generally share knowledge and secure a greater understanding of how this new benefit operates.
