Housing Ask 2

Ban No-DSS discrimination. We are asking local authorities to pass motions banning blanket bans against people who can afford the rent but are discriminated against for receiving benefits. Where relevant, they should amend their licensing policies so that councils can enforce against this discrimination.

Why?

Approximately 243,880 households with children claim benefits in London. These households risk facing DSS discrimination should they need homes in the private renting sector. Find out more about Shelter's campaign to end DSS discrimination below.
