The government will allow local authorities in England to increase council tax by 2% to cover a funding shortfall in adult social care, George Osborne is expected to announce.
The Local Government Association says there will be a shortfall of more than £2.9bn in care services by 2020.
The association is urging the government to address "this crisis" in its Spending Review.
The chancellor is set to reveal more in his Autumn Statement on Wednesday.
