      Rehousing Out of Area

      Requested Wed 14 March 2018
      Responded Thu 22 March 2018

      I would like information about the numbers of homeless households being moved both out of and into the local authority area and where they are being moved to and from. I am aware from your reporting requirements to central government that you hold this information but only part of it is released through DCLG statistical updates.

       

      I understand that under Section 16 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 there is a duty to assist and advise the requester and would appreciate your advice if you think my questions need any clarification in order to get the information that I am looking for.

       

      Please disclose the following information:

       

      1. For each year since 2010, please provide a month by month breakdown of the total number of homeless households the local authority has rehoused in another local authority area. For each household rehoused, please indicate:

       

      - the total number of people rehoused

       

      - the local authority area they were moved to

       

      - whether this was temporary or settled accommodation

       

      - whether they were allocated either council / social housing or a private rental tenancy

       

      1. For each year since 2010, please provide a month by month breakdown of the total number of homeless households the local authority has agreed to rehouse from another local authority area. For each household rehoused, please indicate:

       

      - the total number of people rehoused

       

      - the local authority area they were received

       

      - whether this was temporary or settled accommodation

       

      - whether they were allocated either council / social housing or a private rental tenancy.

       


      Response

      NOTICE OF REFUSAL

      The information you have requested would require us to manually check approx. 2800 homeless applications and would

      exceed the time limit set out by the Information Commissioner therefore under S12 of the Freedom of

      Information Act 2000 provides an exemption from the obligation to comply with a request for information if the

      estimated costs of complying with that request would exceed the prescribed appropriate limit.

      We estimate that the costs of complying with your request would exceed the appropriate limit by a significant amount.

      For this reason we feel unable to comply with this question.
