social housing
Received: 25 March 2025
I am requesting the following information under the Freedom of Information Act. This FOI request is not limited to councils that provide their own social housing, as non-stockholding councils still operate social housing registers.1. A list of all the different priority 'bands' (or levels, or categories) in the council's social housing register/waiting list, and the current criteria for inclusion in each band2. The number of households currently in each priority band3. The average time the households in each priority band have been on the social housing register/waiting list, regardless of whether they have changed priority band during that time4. The average time the households in each priority band have been in that specific priority band on the social housing register/waiting list 5. Among households on the social housing register/waiting list who were rehoused in social housing in calendar year 2024 (and thus left the housing register), the average time they had been in their final priority band for - please provide this data broken down by priority band. As an example, if a council operates three priority bands - bands A, B and C - and a household started on Band C before moving to Band B and was then rehoused, I'm looking for how long they were on Band B before being rehoused (averaged across all rehoused Band B households)If the information for question 5 is not available by calendar year, please provide it for the most recent financial year for which the information is held (and state the financial year being used).
