Published 5 November 2018
Request
Please supply the list of organisations currently providing accommodation classified as "specified accommodation" for housing benefit purposes (regulation 75H of the Housing Benefit Regulations SI 2006/213) in your area. For the avoidance of doubt, we only require the names of the provider organisations. To help you locate this information, we are aware that such a list should exist within the unit that deals with Housing Benefit (HB) (see the Department of Work and Pensions' HB Circular A8/2014 (paras 40 to 44)). DWP underline it is "essential that the information is accurate and kept up to date" (para 41). Purpose for which the information is to be re-used: With the information you and other organisations supply we intend to publish a UK directory of providers of specified accommodation. Parties interested in the directory might include researchers, local authorities, housing advisers and consultants seeking comparators for supported housing schemes in a given postcode area.
