Association Response to Government Consultation on Cap to WMC increases
The Almshouse Association has been working with our member charities to put together a response to the government consultation on capping increases to Weekly Maintenance Contributions (WMC) from April 2023.
Note: This cap would only apply to charities who are also Registered Providers of Social Housing (RPs).
As part of this process, we promised that we would allow members to view our response which is focused on achieving an exemption from any proposed cap, specifically for almshouse charities. As well as making our submission, we are meeting with the government team handling the consultation to make an explicit case for support of an exemption.
We will continue to keep members up to date as the situation develops.
Our response can be found here.
