No. of former asylum seekers homeless in Aug and Sep 23
Dear Croydon Borough Council,
Please can you provide the number of households containing a ‘former asylum seeker’ that were owed a homelessness duty by your local authority in the months of August 2023 and September 2023.
If this data is not available, please provide instead the number of households owed a prevention duty where their accommodation at the time was ‘National Asylum Seeker Support (NASS) accommodation’, for the months of August and September 2023.
Thank you very much for your cooperation.
Yours faithfully,
