| Annotation | As part of its reform of Housing Benefit (HB), the Government has introduced a Local Housing Allowance (LHA), payable to low income tenants in the private rented sector. The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has commissioned an evaluation of LHA in the nine Pathfinder local authorities, where it was introduced between November 2003 and February 2004: Brighton & Hove, Lewisham, Edinburgh, Leeds, Blackpool, Conwy, Coventry, North East Lincolnshire and Teignbridge, Devon. This report draws on interviews with claimants and landlords during the evaluation. It presents quantitative and qualitative findings on national and local housing and labour market trends, as well as on the housing market and labour market impacts of the LHA. Appendices include local house prices and earning data for the Pathfinder areas for 2002-2006. This and other publications about the LHA evaluation are available on the DWP website (at http://www.dwp.gov.uk/housingbenefit/lha/evaluatio... (RH). |
