Rehousing Out of Area

The request was refused by Aylesbury Vale District Council.

Dear Adur District Council,

I would like information about the numbers of homeless households being moved both out of and into the local authority area and where they are being moved to and from. I am aware from your reporting requirements to central government that you hold this information but only part of it is released through DCLG statistical updates.

I understand that under Section 16 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 there is a duty to assist and advise the requester and would appreciate your advice if you think my questions need any clarification in order to get the information that I am looking for.

Please disclose the following information:

1. For each year since 2010, please provide a month by month breakdown of the total number of homeless households the local authority has rehoused in another local authority area. For each household rehoused, please indicate:

- the total number of people rehoused

- the local authority area they were moved to

- whether this was temporary or settled accommodation

- whether they were allocated either council / social housing or a private rental tenancy

2. For each year since 2010, please provide a month by month breakdown of the total number of homeless households the local authority has agreed to rehouse from another local authority area. For each household rehoused, please indicate:

- the total number of people rehoused

- the local authority area they were received

- whether this was temporary or settled accommodation

- whether they were allocated either council / social housing or a private rental tenancy.

Yours faithfully,

David Adams

Dear Mr Adams

 

The member of staff preparing the response to your FOI has asked for the
following clarification:

 

“The requester refers to information which is reported to central
government, which I believe to be the statutory homelessness return (P1E),
however, can this be clarified? If so, I am unclear which section(s) of
this return are being referred to in the first paragraph of the request,
and wonder if this could be advised, as this would help to frame our
response accordingly. The return provides information on households
accommodated in temporary accommodation in another local authority area.
It also provides information on the outcomes of those households leaving
temporary accommodation, but not which authority they have gone to. Any
clarification would be appreciated.”

 

We should be most grateful if you could send the clarification at your
convenience. We shall then provide you with a response to your FOI request
as soon as possible and no later than 20 working days from the date we
receive the necessary clarification.”

 

Many thanks and best wishes
