Temporary accommodation
See notes
This is a request for information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. Please can you provide the following information relating to the Council’s provision of temporary accommodation:
1. The total spend on temporary accommodation by private sector supplier in the 2023/24 financial year (01/04/2023 to 31/03/2024), categorised as follows:
- Private sector accommodation leased by the local authority.
- Nightly paid, privately managed accommodation, self-contained.
- Bed and breakfast hotels (including shared annexes). I.e., not self-contained.
Note: If it is too time consuming and costly to break down the spend into these three categories, then please just provide the total for each private sector supplier. To be clear, I am asking for both the name of the supplier and the total spend. Ideally, the suppliers would be arranged according to which of the three categories of accommodation they provide.
2. Please can you provide the total number of current temporary accommodation placements in other local authority districts, broken down according to the name of the local authority district the placements have been made in.
Please provide the information in one excel spreadsheet (it may contain more than one tab if necessary). Please supply the information relating to part 1 of the request in two columns, one with the provider’s business name and one with the total spend over the period. Please supply the information relating to part 2 in two columns, one with the name of the relevant authority and one with the total temporary accommodation placements in that authority’s district.
