I am requesting some information under the Freedom of Information Act, pertaining to homeless households in out-of-borough temporary accommodation.
This FOI is similar to a previous one I filed last month (FOI002058), but I have refined it based on feedback. If you have not yet responded to the previous one, please close that request and do this one instead.
At the bottom of this email I have included an example table for how to provide the data, though another format is acceptable if needed. If you cannot provide all the data, please provide the parts you can, and clearly mark the parts you cannot provide. If you have advice on how I could refine my request, that would be appreciated.
Please provide this data for three (3) periods of time: Jan 2023-Dec 2023; Jan 2024-Dec 2024; and Jan 2025-June 2025.
1. The number of homeless households placed by your council in out-of-borough temporary accommodation during the time period, and of these the number of households with children - broken down by borough/district placed in
2. The number of households that your council received Section 208 notices from other councils during that time period, and of these the number of households with children - broken down by borough/district received from.
