New research by Crisis and Zoopla reveals that only 12% of
rental properties listed in the last year were affordable to
those in receipt of housing benefit
-
Nearly half of local authority areas in England had fewer
than 20 truly affordable one-bed homes listed in a year

Crisis and Zoopla announce new partnership that will see
the two organisations work together on research and jointly
promote the solutions to tackle homelessness
Low-income renters across England are facing a ‘housing black
hole’ due to soaring rents and the freeze on housing benefit
leaving a huge shortfall in genuinely affordable homes, according
to a new report by the homelessness charity Crisis and property
website Zoopla. The charity warns that with evictions on the rise
and homelessness numbers already climbing in England, the growing
pressure of unaffordable rents for those on low incomes, together
with a chronic lack of supply of rented homes, looks likely to
drive many more out of their homes, forcing potentially thousands
to resort to sleeping in cars, on their friend’s sofas, or to
rely on hostels and B&Bs.
The research finds that, at the start of 2022, one in four
private renters in England (1.2 million households)1
were reliant on housing benefit to keep a roof over their heads.
By contrast, new analysis of Zoopla listings data finds that
fewer than one in eight properties available for rent last year
were affordable to those in receipt of housing
benefit2, leaving tens of thousands facing shortfalls
in rent amidst a cost-of-living crisis.
The research, which looks at new property listings for one, two
and three-bed properties across England between May 2021 and
April 2022 and their affordability compared to housing benefit
rates, shows that average monthly rental prices are now
12% higher than they were before the
pandemic3, but housing
benefit has remained frozen since March 2020 and is based on
rents from 2018-19. In May of this year, the Westminster
Government committed to increase other means-tested benefits in
line with inflation in April 2023, but it has so far ignored
housing benefit.
This growing gap means that thousands are being pushed to
breaking point. The report also reveals that the
shortfalls between housing benefit payments and rents are more
than double what the most recent Government figures
suggest – with low-income renters being forced to find,
on average, an additional £648 for a one-bed, £1,052 for a
two-bed and £1,6554 for a three-bed a year compared to
£313, £371 and £498, respectively5.
These widening shortfalls come at a time when high inflation,
skyrocketing energy bills and a chronic shortage of housing is
leaving the poorest households with little room for manoeuvre.
The problem is most acute for one-bed homes – with the analysis
showing that in almost 50% of local authorities, fewer
than 20 such properties listed were affordable to people
receiving housing benefit in the last year. This is
despite 44% of private renters being singles or couples with no
children and for who a one bed property would be the most
suitable.
This is not a problem that is isolated to small pockets of the
country. In Sunderland just 8% of one-bed properties listed would
be covered in full by housing benefit, this rises slightly to 9%
in Cornwall while in Salford, where rental increases have been
sharpest, just 4% of properties are affordable to struggling
households. [Full local authority breakdown in the

Every day, Crisis’ frontline services are supporting people
experiencing homelessness trying to find somewhere affordable to
live but the situation is rapidly worsening. The charity is
warning that a growing number of its members are being asked to
provide at least six months’ rent up front, or to provide a
separate ‘cash incentive’, in order for the rental property to go
to someone in receipt of housing benefit - practices the
homelessness charity says not only prices out applicants but also
illegally discriminates.
In a major new partnership, Crisis and Zoopla have joined
together to call on the government to urgently invest in housing
benefit at the autumn budget if it wants to prevent thousands
from being pushed into homelessness.
Matt Downie, Crisis Chief Executive, said: “It
is deeply troubling that the poorest households in England are
being forced to fight over a meagre number of affordable homes or
stump up thousands they simply don’t have in order to find
somewhere to live.
“We cannot sit idly by as people are left to battle against an
increasingly turbulent and suffocating rental market while
housing benefit - the only lifeline they have - is patently
insufficient and unable to meet their needs.
“Enough is enough. The Government can no longer ignore rising
rents in the cost of living crisis - it must urgently invest in
housing benefit so it covers the cheapest third of rents and put
in place a plan to deliver the social homes we are crying out
for, if people are to have a fighting chance at finding a home
they can afford.”
Commenting on the research, Richard Donnell, Executive
Director at Zoopla, said: “The gap
between housing benefit levels and actual rents is widening as
demand for rented homes outpaces supply. There is a greater
supply squeeze in the rental market than the sales market. This
is being compounded by a growing number of private landlords
exiting the market in the face of tax changes and greater
regulation, a trend that looks set to continue. The challenge for
national and local government is to encourage more supply across
all tenures and a policy environment that continues to attract
new investment into the rented sectors.”

Notes to Editor
- DWP data from StatXplore’s -
February 2022 (most recent figures available)
- Analysis includes all 1-3 bedroom
properties listed on Zoopla between May 2021 and April 2022
- Zoopla rental index (increase
calculated from March 2020 to June 2022)
- Figures represent the average
shortfall between housing benefit rates and asking rents of
listings on Zoopla for a household renting a property at the
30thpercentile of the rent distribution (i.e.
properties that previously would have been affordable to
households receiving housing benefits)
- Figures represent the average
shortfall between housing benefit rates and 30th
percentile rents published by the Valuation Office Agency in
January 2022 (based on rents data collected in the 12 months up
to September 2021). This is the most recent official government
data showing the scale of housing benefit shortfalls.
