Number of households presenting as homeless that claim Universal Credit

We're waiting for Oliver Murphy to read a recent response and update the status.

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

Information Officer, Worthing Borough Council
