Housing Minister Paul McLennan announced more than £90 million will be set aside to aid local authorities in assisting households facing a tough time in 2024-25. This help is aimed at those whose rent isn't fully covered by the local housing allowance or families grappling with house costs.
McLennan explained that this fund will bridge the gap between what folks need and what they end up receiving from the UK Government in benefits. He said: "This can be the difference between a family thriving, or a family experiencing financial hardship.
