Social Rented Housing: Furniture Poverty
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what estimate she has made of the number of households living in social housing without essential pieces of furniture.
Answered by Matthew Pennycook
The department does not collect data on the number of households living in social housing without essential pieces of furniture. Social housing residents in need may be able to get help with essential items from their local council through the ‘Household Support Fund’.
