Freedom of Information Request

Hotel/B&B Accommodation

Received: 23 November 2022

Hello,


This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act.


I wish to receive six sets of data relating to emergency housing for homeless residents.


For all six data sets, I wish to receive the data on a month-by-month basis, beginning with October 2020, and ending with October 2022.


The data sets I wish to receive are:


1. The total number of households per month which were placed by the council into hotel or B&B accommodation for one night or more.


2. The total number of households per month which included children, which were placed by the council into hotel or B&B accommodation for one night or more.


3. The total number of households per month which were placed by the council into hotel or B&B accommodation for more than seven nights.


4. The total number of households per month which included children, which were placed by the council into hotel or B&B accommodation for more than seven nights.


5. The total number of nights in hotel or B&B accommodation, per month, for which the council paid.


6. The total cost to the council, per month, of placing residents in hotel and B&B accommodation.


I have three additional questions, for which I do not require monthly data sets. They are:


7. Since January 1, 2022, what is the largest number of nights that any household has spent in hotel or B&B accommodation?


8. Since January 2022, what is the largest number of nights that any household with children has spent in hotel or B&B accommodation?


9. What were the names/addresses of the five most commonly used hotels/B&Bs?


If the council is unable to fulfil this request within the reasonable time limit for Freedom of Information requests, please liaise with me to refine or adapt it as quickly as possible.
