I ask Ms Faughnan to report back to the Minister that there are emergency cases of people working? I know a baker who works every day, 40 hours a week and he lives in homeless hostels because he cannot get the rent supplement. As a stopgap, I ask Ms Faughnan to discuss with the Minister the possibility of some rent supplement payments going to people who are working and who are homeless.
