Response

Please accept my apologies for the delay in responding. 

A) There is no bridging accommodation in Hastings or anywhere within East Sussex.

B) November 2023 = 4. Zero for the other months.

C) Any response to homelessness amongst this cohort would be dealt with under current legislation.

Bridging accommodation is the responsibility of the Home Office and is not dealt with at borough council level.

Hastings Borough Council has received funding through the Local Authority Housing Fund which will be used to support the acquisition of a 4 bedroom property for households living in bridging accommodation.
