Closed Housing Benefit ending under 25s

Closed on

It has been announced that the Government are considering ending housing benefits for people under 25.

This is inevitably going to cause undue hardship and lead to the rise of homelessness. The under 25s are already suffering from the increase in student fees, the end of EMA and are subject to massive unemployment.

We urge the Government to abandon this policy and consider other ways to make savings.
