Threatened with homelessness - Section 21 notices

The request was successful.

Dear Islington Borough Council,

Since May 2018 councils have had a certain homeless duty (the "prevention duty") triggered when a person is eligible and threatened with homelessness. Threatened with homeless now includes being issued with a Section 21 notice.

For every month since May 2018 to present, please confirm the number of households who have approached the council seeking homeless assistance due to receiving a Section 21 notice.

Yours faithfully,

Jo Staines
