I would be grateful if you could provide the following information in respect of approved rent levels where the property is run by providers of exempt accommodation (regardless of whether they are registered as providers of social housing with the RSH) covering the period of the last financial year:

1. Please provide weekly Housing Benefit eligible rent levels paid for all supported accommodation in the Borough and clarify if these are supported but not exempt or supported exempt for the last monthly period available and state which month the charges relate to

2. If possible, please could you show the total/gross weekly rent split between the core rent, eligible and ineligible service charges. Can you indicate which year the rents are for?

See attached file that shows the details requested in question 1 and 2. We would also like to clarify;

• The figures given are those that were correct as at 31.03.2023.
• ‘Exempt’ accommodation type, in general terms, is accommodation provided by a Landlord that is either a;

o County Council or metropolitan council, or
o Housing association/Registered Housing Provider, or
o Charity, or
o Voluntary organisation/not for profit organisation

And that the landlord has an obligation to provide care, support or supervision to the tenant.

• ‘Specified other’ accommodation type covers;
o Supported housing where the landlord does not provide the care, support or supervision or
o Domestic violence refuges, or
o Housing authority non-self-contained supported housing (such as hostels)

but again the landlords must be the same organisations as listed for exempt accommodation.
