The Committee invited written submissions and observations on the following issues:
• the impact of the housing benefit reforms in Wales;
• whether the housing benefit policy is coherent and enables access to homes in Wales; and
• whether benefit reform is in danger of driving private landlords out of the low income rental market, thereby increasing shortages to social housing.
The Committee was particularly interested to hear from individuals who were affected by these reforms.
