Hi do you have an annual breakdown over the past 3 years of

a) numbers of asylum seekers who are known to be homeless.

b)estimates for the number of asylum seekers who will be homeless  by the
end of the year - The Council does not hold this information. The
Information may be held by the Home Office or The Mears Group, who
ultimately have this responsibility.

This information has been provided in response to a Freedom of Information

re-use of this information for commercial or other purposes.

I hope this is satisfactory. If, however, you are dissatisfied with our
response to your request for information, you can ask for the decision to
be reviewed in reply to this letter, however any request for review must
be submitted within 40 days of the date of this freedom of information
