Background

Increase the local housing allowance to make it easier for single parents in need of housing find somewhere suitable

Additional details

I am currently private renting. I am a single mum of 2 children. My housing allowance per month is £900. But all properties are way above this meaning people like me cannot afford to put a roof over our heads without getting into so much debt. Housing allowance should meet local housing costs. Housing prices have increased massively but yet the allowance is still around £500 under
