Number of households presenting as homeless that claim Universal Credit
Dear FOI Team,
I write to request information on the number of households claiming Universal Credit and/or housing benefit who have presented to you as homeless while between January 2019 and April 2022.
As part of this request, I would like this information to be broken down into the following:
(i) The total number of households claiming Universal Credit presenting as homeless since January 2019, broken down into households living in leasehold property and council-owned property (otherwise known as council tenants) and years;
(i) The total number of households claiming housing benefit – part of the legacy welfare system – presenting as homeless since January 2019, broken down into households living in leasehold property and council-owned property (otherwise known as council tenants) and years.
Please present the information in Excel format.
Yours faithfully,
Oliver Murphy
