Is removing the supported housing benefit cliff edge the right way to encourage residents into work?

Supported housing provides accommodation with extra help for vulnerable groups including those with disabilities, mental health issues or leaving care. The current system often creates a benefit cliff where entering work leads to sharp drops in support, especially as the UK transitions remaining claimants to Universal Credit. High housing benefit costs, with Britain spending the highest share of GDP on such subsidies among OECD nations, have renewed focus on work incentives amid low employment rates in social housing.
