‘Cost of housing’ crunch looms for low-income families, warns Resolution Foundation
The Resolution Foundation, a UK think‑tank, says rising rents are creating a housing‑cost crisis for low‑income households. It urges the chancellor to lift the freeze on housing benefit, noting that a typical two‑bedroom family now faces a weekly shortfall of about £158. The foundation warns the gap could worsen without policy action and increase financial strain on vulnerable renters.
