      Homelessness Reduction Act FOI

      Requested Fri 15 February 2019
      Responded Mon 15 April 2019

      I’m writing to you to request information held under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

      I am hoping to find out:

      1. How many people have approached the local authority stating that they are threatened with homelessness since 1 April 2018?

      2. How many people have been owed the prevention duty since 1 April 2018?

      3. How many people have the local authority prevented the person being homeless?

      4. How many people have approached the local authority stating that they are homeless since 1 April 2018?

      5. How many people have been owed the relief duty since 1 April 2018?

      6. How many people have the local authority relieved of being homeless?

      7. How much money has been allocated to the local authority for financial year 2018/19 to enable the local authority to comply with their new homeless reduction act duties?

      This request should cover data from April 1 2018 to February 15 2019 and broken down to monthly figures if possible.
