Low Income Family Tracker (LIFT)

Descriptions

The Low Income Family Tracker (LIFT) dashboard is an online tool that combines analytics with local authority data to drive strategic and operational decisions in the provision of a range of welfare and support services. The solution enables the ability to: - understand the cumulative impact of welfare reform on each low-income household. - track the changing circumstances of low-income households to check the effectiveness of interventions, policy changes and socio-economic factors. - understand variations of income relative to household’s needs and identify struggling, just managing, and in crisis households based a combination of household’s incomes, expenditure and arrears. - identify households that are in poverty with respect to national relative and absolute poverty lines and identify eligibility for benefits. - bring together disparate datasets to have a single view of low-income households which includes; debt, financial resilience, affordability and vulnerability.
