Rough Sleepers

Requested Mon 24 August 2020
Responded Fri 02 October 2020

I am writing to make an open government request for all the information to which I am entitled under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

During the recent 'Everyone In' scheme, local authorities in the UK were required to house rough sleepers through funding provided by central government during Coronavirus National Lockdown Restrictions (2020).

Please can you send me information for each of the following points?

1. How many rough sleepers in your local authority area were accommodated under the 'Everyone In' initiative in total between March-July 2020?

2. How many of the rough sleepers accommodated at any time during this period are considered to be No Recourse to Public Funds (NRPF)?

3. How many of the rough sleepers accommodated at any time during this period (March-July) are EU nationals?

4. Have any rough sleepers placed in accommodation during 'Everyone In' measures been supported through a reconnection service to another part of the UK or to return to country of origin as well as information on the age, gender, nationality and marital status of those who have subsequently accessed a reconnection service.
