Dear Ms Lewis,
Thank you for your email.
Dorset County Council is not responsible for dealing with homeless people in Dorset, as this is a District/Borough Council function. Therefore you would need to contact these Councils in order to gain this information. Please find attached an information request form containing the contact details of the FOI Teams at each of the Councils.
Yours sincerely,
Freedom of Information Team
