Request for Information - LBR-FOI-05613 - Social Housing Register

I refer to your request for information received on 07 June 2024.  Please
see the information below in response to your request: -

Your Request:

I am writing to enquire into social housing waiting times within your
borough under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

1. As of 31/03/2024, what is the average projected wait time for
households on the council’s housing register in each priority band, for a
social home:

a. With 1 bedroom

b. With 2 bedrooms

c. With 3 bedrooms

d. With 4+ bedrooms

e. Adapted to wheelchair standards

Notes:

‘Average projected waiting time’ should be interpreted as how long it
would take for a household with a given set of characteristics to be
granted social homes, based on how many similar households were granted
social homes in the last year.

‘Social home’ and ‘social housing’ here include both general needs and
supported social homes.

For each of the following questions, if data is unavailable for the
date(s) requested, please provide the most recent data available.

If data does not exist on a component of this request, please provide what
information does exist.

‘Priority band’ refers to the classification assigned to households on the
council's housing register, based on an assessment of their housing need,
which determines their relative priority for being allocated a social
home, as set out in the council’s allocations policy. If the council uses
a points system with thresholds, please use these as ‘bands’ if possible.

Our Response:

  2023/24 in months
Average wait (all queues) 12
Average wait for 1-bed (all queues) 9
Average wait for 2-bed (all queues) 17
Average wait for 3-bed (all queues) 16
Average wait for 4-bed+ (all queues) 34
Average wait on Physical Disability queue for 18
wheelchair adapted homes
