They estimated almost 26,500 households have been affected by the cuts, yet, due to a shortage of smaller homes, only 155 were able to downsize into housing association properties in April.
In the Riverside area, 2,347 householders would need to move to a one-bedroom property to avoid cuts to their benefits - however only 407 one-bed homes become available each year, the report stated.
