Discharging homelessness to the private sector

The request was successful.

Dear Sirs

Please could you provide a list of district / borough councils you have assisted residents to relocate to (SDC notwithstanding) following the option for SDC to end their statutory duty by placing the homeless into the private sector. Going back to 2011.

Many thanks.

Yours Faithfully
Mr J Heathcliff
