All executive summaries and overview reports concerning Domestic Homicide Reviews for your local authority for the period 13th April 2011 (when the DHR process was established under the Domestic Violence, Crime and Victims Act, 2004) to 31st December 2021. I request a link to the website where these can be found, and where the complete set of DHRs are not currently available on the local authority website, a PDF of the relevant document(s).

I am seeking information relating to accommodation that has been classed as 'exempt'. I am seeking the housing benefit paid for such accommodation, broken down into housing benefit, and to include service charges as outlined below. Exempt accommodation is defined as:
"1) "Exempt accommodation" is a term used in Housing Benefit and Universal Credit to describe supported accommodation where the rules that normally limit the amount of rent covered by a benefit award do not apply.
The usual meaning of "exempt accommodation" is where the accommodation is provided by a landlord in the social or voluntary sector and the benefit claimant is provided with care, support or supervision by the landlord or by someone acting on the landlord's behalf. A claimant occupying exempt accommodation does not have their housing benefit restricted to local housing allowance."
Please can you disclose the following:
Q1. details of the lowest awarded eligible core rent;
Q2. details of the highest awarded eligible core rent;
Q3. details of the lowest awarded gross eligible rent (i.e. inclusive of the core rent and the eligible service charges);
Q4. details of the highest awarded gross eligible rent (i.e. inclusive of the core rent and the eligible service charges); and
Q5. Please confirm the names of exempt accommodation providers in your area. Please name the providers/landlords who currently hold exempt accommodation status in respect of any of their residents.
