Question
I am a producer at Channel 4 News and would like to know: - In meeting your duties to homeless households as per Part VII of the Housing Act 1996 (as amended by the Homelessness Reduction Act 2017) how many households have you arranged accommodation for outside of your district / borough in the last four quarters (ie from the quarter starting July 1 2019 to the quarter ending June 30 2020)? - How many households have you arranged accommodation for in total in the same time period? -For both of the above can you breakdown the number of households by those with children and those without? - How many notifications of out-of-district placements made by other councils in your district /borough have you received in this time period? - Do you have local authority staff procuring accommodation for you to use in meeting your duties to homeless households (as above) in other parts of the country, and if so, where?
Answer
In accordance with the Freedom of Information Act 2000, I request from your service the following information: Just to clarify that we need to meet our duties in accordance with the Housing (Wales) Act 2014 – not Part VII Act 1996 – so this information request is potentially irrelevant. In meeting your duties to homeless households as per Part VII of the Housing Act 1996 (as amended by the Homelessness Reduction Act 2017) how many households have you arranged accommodation for outside of your district / borough in the last four quarters (ie from the quarter starting July 1 2019 to the quarter ending June 30 2020)? None - How many households have you arranged accommodation for in total in the same time period? 247 -For both of the above can you breakdown the number of households by those with children and those without? No - the report hasn’t captured this data. - How many notifications of out-of-district placements made by other councils in your district /borough have you received in this time period? None - Do you have local authority staff procuring accommodation for you to use in meeting your duties to homeless households (as above) in other parts of the country, and if so, where? No
