FOI Request - Temporary Accommodation, Homeless

Request 101002543583

I am writing to make a request under the Freedom of Information Act for information held by the council

Specifically, I would like the following information:

1. Details of all temporary accommodations used by the council to house homeless people each year, since 2015. Please include the number of individuals housed at each premises, the amount paid by the council to each business or group, and the date they were last used.

Response 05-08-2020

Please refer to the file attached here which details all 154 temporary accommodation properties occupied since 2015. The total number of individuals includes adult, dependent and non-dependent household members housed in each of these properties. However, there will be households which have moved between rooms or properties which will be counted more than once within these figures.  

Addresses have been removed as these are exempt under section 38(1)(b) of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002, personal information. 

Amounts paid to businesses or groups are exempt under section 33(1)(b) of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 as disclosure could prejudice commercial interests.
