How many older people need assisted living within your Local Authority? 3. How many older people need supported living within the Local Authority? 4. What percentage of those living in elderly residential care homes/assisted living/supported living do you place within the Local Authority area? 5. What percentage of those living in elderly residential care homes/assisted living/supported living do you place outside the Local Authority area? 6. Would it be right to say that it is the council’s preference to place older people within the borough? 7. Would it be right to say that the existing provisions are adequate for the needs of the older people within the borough? 8. In respect of older people, how many of the placements are within private provisions? 9. In respect of older people, how many of the placements are within the council’s own provisions?

Would it be right to say that it is the council’s preference to place homeless within the borough? 2. Would it be right to say that the existing provisions are adequate for the needs of the homeless within the borough? 3. In respect of the homeless, how many of the placements are within private provisions? 4. In respect of the homeless, how many of the placements are within the council’s own provisions? We would require the most up to date statistics of homelessness in your area that fits your criteria for those to be temporarily rehoused for example: having no accommodation at all having accommodation that is not reasonable to live in, even in the short-term (eg because of violence or health reasons) Those who are unintentionally homeless. Yours sincerely, Everton Wynter -----Original Message----- Subject: FOI Response - FOI/NCS/0793   Dear Mr Wynter   RE: Freedom of Information Request: 0793   We could do with some clarification about the information requested please?   Is this a snapshot figure required on a particular date,  or is there a particular period to be looked at?   1.How many elderly people need* residential care homes/assisted living/supported living within the Local Authority**?   *There may be a lot of people who ‘need’ the services but aren’t necessarily eligible.  There could also be many people within the borough that ‘need’ those services that never approach the council for support (eg Self Funders) – so, could you check exactly what they mean here please?   ** Can we confirm if they mean ‘within the Local Authority boundaries’ or ‘supported by the Local Authority’ as we could supply the latter but not the former.   These queries are applicable to question 2 also.   3. How many adults are homeless within the council?    We cannot say how many adults are homeless (I assume you mean Warrington) as not all would have approached the council for assistance. Do you mean everyone who has approached the council for advice and assistance about housing or homelessness,  or just those who have made a statutory homeless application?  Do you mean all single adults or adults with children or couples? If you mean those who have made a statutory homeless application,  then this is available on the DCLG Website below.   What percentage of adults are homeless rehoused in supported housing until they are rehoused by the council? Do you mean people who have made a statutory homeless application,  where we perhaps use supported housing as temporary accommodation until permanent housing is allocated? Or,  do you mean people who access supported housing (not all people accessing supported housing come through the council, or approach the council for re-housing when they are ready to move on)?   We would require the most up to date statistics of homelessness in your area that fits your criteria for those to be temporarily rehoused for example: having no accommodation at all having accommodation that is not reasonable to live in, even in the short-term (e.g. because of violence or health reasons)   All councils publish data on a quarterly basis by the Department for Communities and Local Government which may assist with the answer to this question.
