The "Bedroom Tax" DHP Dudley and Rehousing

This is, of course, before the increase in funding provided by the government.

A big issue, however, appears to be that local housing authorities are not doing enough to rehouse people who are overcrowded. I have a few cases where nothing much is happening even though there are people who wish to downsize.
