Our response to the Chancellor's Budget announcement
We welcome the announcement in today’s Budget that the £20 Universal Credit uplift will be extended for the next six months. This, along with the extension of the furlough scheme, will provide much needed support and security for our customers, and help to support our local economy.
It is also encouraging to see the funding for domestic violence programmes and help to get people on the housing ladder. At CHP we continue to work with a range of partners to provide much needed affordable homes across our region, which will also be crucial to our post-pandemic recovery.
