Subject: Freedom of Information request - Number of LGBT individuals
making a homeless application between 2018-2022

*EXTRNL*
Dear FOI Team,

I write to request information on the number of lesbian, gay, bisexual and
transgender (LGBT) individuals who made a homeless application as legally
homeless and/or being threatened with homelessness between January 2018
and April 2022.

As part of this request, I would like the information to be broken down
into the following:

(i) The number of individuals making a homeless application while 'legally
homeless' since 2018, broken down into sexual orientation (including
transgender), per month, per year and grand total;

(ii) The number of individuals making a homeless application 'threatened
with homelessness' since 2018, broken down into sexual orientation
(including transgender), per month, per year and grand total;

(iii) The number of individuals supported into accommodation
(temporary/emergency) since 2018, broken down into sexual orientation
(including transgender), per month, per year and grand total;

(iv) The number of individuals owed a prevention and/or relief duty since
2018, broken down into sexual orientation (including transgender), per
month, per year and grand total;

(v) The number of individuals to date, still waiting to be supported into
accommodation, broken down by sexual orientation (including transgender).

(*Individuals defined as anyone between the ages of 16-80 years-old).

Yours faithfully,

Oliver Murphy
