Homelessness MAIN QUESTIONS

The request was successful.

To whom this may concern,

I am seeking information from your local authority under the Freedom of Information Act (2000), regarding the topic of homelessness in your area. My questions are as follows:

• What was the number of people found to be rough sleeping in the area administered by the council in each of the years from 2010 – 2018?
• What was the number of people found to be homeless in the area administered by the council in each of the years from 2010 to 2018?
• How much was spent by the council on schemes aimed at tackling homelessness in each of the years between 2010 and 2018?
• How much was spent by the council on ‘Housing First’ style schemes aimed at tackling homelessness in each of the years between 2010 and 2018?
• How much was spent by the council from Government grants on ‘Housing First’ style schemes aimed at tackling homelessness in each of the years between 2010-2018?

If you can identify any ways that my request could be refined, I would be grateful for any further advice and assistance.

If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact me via email and I will be pleased to clarify what I am asking for and discuss the request.

Thank you very much for your help regarding this topic, I look forward to you reply in the near future.

Yours faithfully,

Emily Thomas

Dear Emily
        Could you please clarify the following questions re your request
for information. I will place your request on hold until a response from
you is received.
 
•       What was the number of people found to be homeless in the area
administered by the council in each of the years from 2010 to 2018?
What does this mean? Number of homelessness applications presented to LA,
or an accumulation of the total number of people in each household?
•       How much was spent by the council on schemes aimed at tackling
homelessness in each of the years between 2010 and 2018?
What does schemes mean? Is this to exclude Council spending on its
homelessness staff, for example? 
Many thanks

To whom this may concern,

Thank you very much for your response regarding the previous Freedom of Information request.

To clarify the issue that you mentioned in my previous correspondence please see the following:

Regarding question two, it is the number of total homeless applications presented to the LA during the time frame specified.

Regarding question four, it is not referring to salary costs for homelessness staff, but any other spending associated with tackling homelessness in the area.

Thank you very much for your time, if there are any other issues that arise please let me know.

Yours sincerely,

Emily Thomas
