Rehousing Out of Area

The request is waiting for clarification. If you are David Adams, please sign in to send a follow up message.

Dear Hillingdon Borough Council,

I would like information about the numbers of homeless households being moved both out of and into the local authority area and where they are being moved to and from. I am aware from your reporting requirements to central government that you hold this information but only part of it is released through DCLG statistical updates.

I understand that under Section 16 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 there is a duty to assist and advise the requester and would appreciate your advice if you think my questions need any clarification in order to get the information that I am looking for.

Please disclose the following information:

1. For each year since 2010, please provide a month by month breakdown of the total number of homeless households the local authority has rehoused in another local authority area. For each household rehoused, please indicate:

- the total number of people rehoused

- the local authority area they were moved to

- whether this was temporary or settled accommodation

- whether they were allocated either council / social housing or a private rental tenancy

2. For each year since 2010, please provide a month by month breakdown of the total number of homeless households the local authority has agreed to rehouse from another local authority area. For each household rehoused, please indicate:

- the total number of people rehoused

- the local authority area they were received

- whether this was temporary or settled accommodation

- whether they were allocated either council / social housing or a private rental tenancy.

Yours faithfully,

David Adams

 In accordance with S1(3) of the FOIA before we can respond to your
request  we require some clarification of the information you are seeking 

 

 In particular can you clarify the points in bold text​:

 the term temporary accommodation means everything fro a one night
placement in B&B to long term placement in a leased property, does the
inquiry include short term interim placements eg. Bed & Breakfast /
nightly charged? The difference in the response will be between a few 10's
of households over the 8 year period or a few 1000's if B&B is to be
included.
