How many households of the council have been relocated outside of the council and where have they been relocated in the past ten years (from 2008/09 through the end of January 2020).

Please break these figures down into how may residents per household were relocated and where they were relocated to, per month. For example, in May 2018, 82 households were relocated outside of the council, 2 households (comprised of eight individuals) were relocated to Bradford, five families (comprised of 20 individuals) were relocated to Redcar.

If available, please answer how many residents were relocated from outside of the council to housing within your council in the past ten years (from 2008/09 through the end of January 2020).

Response

Hastings Borough Council only 'temporarily' place households outside of the area in emergency accommodation, we do not 'relocate' households. These households move back to Hastings as soon as a vacancy becomes available in emergency accommodation.
