Request
This email is a request for information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and relates to Social Housing Waiting Times and how you handle large families through your homeless service. If any of the below questions are not relevant to you as you do not provide the service, this request may be disregarded.
We are requesting data on the following:
1. Over the financial year of 2024/2025, what was the average waiting time for your social housing from effective date of current banding to property offer or letting (whichever is easier to calculate). Please may this be broken down in to register banding, then property size allocated. E.g.
Band 1 -
1 Bed - x average days
2 bed - x average days
2. How does the authority handle homeless cases where the authority does not own any stock that would qualify as a suitable offer to the customer to discharge duty. E.g. Customers requiring a x bed property, where the landlord does not own any stock of this size. Any referenes to policies or procedures would be prefered if possible.
