Policy

Housing Rights gave oral evidence to the Joint Inquiry by the Northern Ireland Affairs Committee and the Work and Pensions Committee. This Inquiry is specifically interested in the planned end of welfare mitigations in March 2020, Universal Credit (UC) and the two child limit.

Today, we submit written evidence to a Westminster Inquiry examining welfare policy in Northern Ireland.

The Work and Pensions Committee has recommended outlawing the practice of refusing to rent out property to people in receipt of benefits.

Subscribers to the Child Poverty Action Group's Poverty journal will have seen a summary of the recent joint report from Housing Rights, the Law Centre and Advice NI on welfare reform mitigations in Northern Ireland and the looming crisis when these mitigations end in March 2020.
