Dear
Mr Tyes
Thank
you for your requests for information.
I have
attached a spreadsheet which provides the statistical information you have
requested.
We do
not have a specific policy on how shared parenting is assessed in relation
to homeless applications. Officers would have regard to the
individual circumstances of the family applying for assistance and will refer to
the Code of Guidance and any relevant case law before making a reasoned decision
on priority need on this basis.
I hope
this information is useful to you, however, if you have any further queries,
please do not hesitate to contact me.
Yours
sincerely
Sue Carter

Information request - Housing allocation
Dear Sir or
Madam,
Please confirm how many
families applied for housing and were
successful
under the homelessness legislation in the most
recent
three years. Please breakdown the reasons for
rejection in each of
the 5 categories. Please
confirm whether the family was headed by a
couple, a
single mother or a single father. Please also confirm
how
long it took to process their
application.
Yours
faithfully,
Ian Tyes

Information request - Shared Parenting -
Homelessness Policy
Dear Sir or
Madam,
Please could you supply a
copy of your homelessness policy on
shared parenting
with guidelines on how you decide which parent is
the primary carer for the provision of council housing and which
is
the secondary carer and hence is only suitable
for being housed as
a single person.
Yours
faithfully,
Ian Tyes
