Please join experts from Browne Jacobson for this advanced level webinar on 19 May, 12 – 1.00pm.

Local housing authorities are facing significant shortfalls in their budgets for homelessness services as a result of rising homelessness, severe housing shortages, and spiraling costs.

This webinar will explore how the legislative framework impacts on the funding of temporary accommodation, including:
-Powers for acquiring, providing and disposing TA.
-The HRA ringfence, and the use of general funds.
-The housing benefit and housing benefit subsidy rules; and Application of the Rent Standard.

It will provide an overview of some of the options available to local authorities to mitigate their housing benefit subsidy deficits.
