Q1. The total number of households in temporary accommodation (whether placed in council or non-council housing, whether inside or outside the local authority area) as of March (or April) 2020
Q2. The total number of households in temporary accommodation (whether placed in council or non-council housing, whether inside or outside the local authority area) as of March (or April) 2021 Questions 1 and 2 are aimed at those councils whose TA figures were not published in the corresponding quarterly statistics published by what was MHCLG - most councils can simply refer me to those MHCLG publications.
Q3. The total number of households currently in temporary accommodation (whether placed in council or non-council housing, whether inside or outside the local authority area)
Q4. The number of households that were newly placed in temporary accommodation each month since January 2021 (i.e. their tenancy/placement began that month). Preferably this figure should exclude households transferred between different temporary accommodation placements
Q5. How many households in temporary accommodation currently pay their rent either to the council or via the council?
Q6. Of the households in question 5, how many are currently in arrears on their rent by at least four weeks/one month (or any similar timeframe used by the council in its records, e.g. six weeks)?
Q7. Please state how many applications for homelessness support since 1st April 2021 have been rejected due to the applicant being ineligible for public funds under No Recourse to Public Funds rules - this is an overall figure, not a monthly one. If a figure for NRPF is unavailable, please provide a figure for applications rejected due to the applicant being ineligible under s185 of the Housing Act 1996
Q8. Were the applicants referred to in question 7 given accommodation regardless of their housing legislation eligibility (e.g. via Everyone In or a successor scheme)? Please provide any information held on how many of the applicants covered in question 7 were given accommodation in this way.
