    Please can you provide me with information on the below. I am requesting this information under Freedom of Information Act.

    1. How many homeless applications have you received which have been determined as being in priority need over the last five years from January 2013?
    2. Over the last five years from January 2013, how many "priority need" homeless applications stated that the reason for homelessness was due to the applicant being released from prison and having nowhere to go?
    3. Over the last five years from January 2013, how many "priority need" homeless applications did you accept from applicants who were homeless due to leaving prison and having nowhere to go?
    4. Over the last five years from January 2013, how many "priority need" homeless applications did you reject from applicants who were homeless due to leaving prison and having nowhere to go?
    5. Over the last five years from January 2013, how many of the rejected "priority need" homeless applications from applicants who were homeless due to leaving prison and having nowhere to go, were rejected on the basis of:
    6. Becoming homeless intentionally
    7. Being guilty of unacceptable behaviour due to past offending behaviour which makes them unsuitable to be a tenant
