Resolution Foundation says government must reduce risk of eviction during Covid pandemic
Ministers should step in to help more than 750,000 UK families – including 300,000 with dependent children – manage housing arrears built up during Covid-19 and reduce the risk of eviction and homelessness, according to the Resolution Foundation.
The thinktank calls on the government to introduce a Spanish-style loans scheme to help provide a breathing space for tenants and prevent the courts being overwhelmed by a glut of repossession cases.
