Dear Mr/s Dewsbury

I am writing with reference to your recent Freedom of Information
request.

In order for us to be able to process your request and ensure we send
you the information you are asking for, firstly I need to clarify your
request.

Question 1) There is no formal status as 'registered' homeless. Do you
mean those approaching the Council for assistance under homelessness
legislation who are owed a limited duty, such as advice and assistance.
Or are you asking about those who are accepted as homeless?

Question 2) Could you please be more specific as to what you mean by
funds allocated?

Once we have received your clarification we will be able to continue to
process your request within the 20 working day statutory timescale
unless the information is exempt or we require additional time to
consider whether disclosure is in the public interest in accordance with
section 10(3) of the Act.

Yours sincerely

Dear Mr/s Dewsbury,

Thank you for your confirmation of your request under the Freedom of
Information Act 2000 about Homeless funding data received on 11th May
2010.

We are considering your request under the terms of the Freedom of
Information Act, you should receive the information requested within the
statutory timescale of 20 working days, unless the information is exempt
or we require additional time to consider whether disclosure is in the
public interest in accordance with section 10(3) of the Act.

Cardiff Council's policy is to carry out the spirit and requirements of
the Freedom of Information Act in a manner which:
- recognizes the duty to inform as the essential principle underlying
the legislation;
- discloses to requesters the maximum information possible which is not
injurious to the public and private interests identified in the
exemptions in the Act and does so in the most timely and consistent
manner given the nature and scope of the request;
- ensures that fees permitted under the Act are kept to an absolute
minimum whilst safeguarding our position as a non-profit making
repayment department.

We will try to supply information in electronic format by email, but if
this is not possible we will let you know. If you have any special
requirements e.g. language, audio, large print, etc. please let us know.

The Act defines a number of exemptions which may prevent the release of
information. If any exemptions apply to your information request they
will be considered prior to disclosure. If any of the exemption
categories do apply an explanation for non-disclosure will be included
in the Decision Notice response you will receive, included in this
notice is your right to appeal against our decision.

If the information you request contains reference to a third party then
they may be consulted prior to a decision being taken on whether or not
to release the information to you. We will keep you informed if this
issue arises.

In some circumstances a fee may be payable for the information you have
requested, we will inform you of the details if and when appropriate. In
these circumstances you will have to pay the fee before we process and
release the information. The 20 working day time limit for responses
will not start until we receive your payment.

If you have any queries or concerns regarding the FOIA please do not
hesitate to contact me.

You can find out more about the Act from the Information Commissioner
