housing benefit subsidy rates
Ealing Council is working to reduce its temporary accommodation costs by securing new homes.
Ealing Council's Cabinet approved plans in March 2026 to secure up to 400 new temporary homes for homeless households, aiming to significantly reduce its annual temporary accommodation budget. This move, which relates to the financial support for housing costs, is projected to generate substantial savings for the council.
A 10-year-plus lease for 200 units with provider Madison Brook is expected to save Ealing Council at least £9.23k per property annually. Over the full 10-year term, the total net saving from this arrangement is estimated at £20.099m. No further discussions or decisions on housing benefit subsidy rates are currently scheduled.
