Optional open box question to council officers: As part of NRLA campaign work on local government, we want to explore any potential barriers councils face with enforcement of the PRS and what policy/legislative changes central government can make to remove the barriers and increase uptake of certain aspects of enforcement as and when it is required.
Therefore, we want to hear from council officers directly on what are the main barriers they face with issuing and enforcing civil penalties in the PRS currently. So, for example, factors like a lack of resources/funds, lack of legally trained staff, court waiting times etc. As this is an FOI request, I recognise that it is not mandatory for this question to be answered, however I would be most grateful if an answer can be provided so this can be fed into our lobbying work towards central government. Thank you for your assistance.

I am reaching out to kindly request a list of empty residential properties within the councils jurisdiction. My objective is to engage with the owners of these properties with a view to revitalising and potentially leasing them back to the council. This collaboration could facilitate the provision of much-needed housing for the homeless population, and subsequently contribute to reducing waiting lists for housing.

Such an initiative would not only benefit the individuals who are in dire need of shelter but also positively impact the community by improving neighbourhoods and potentially reducing crime rates associated with vacant properties.

I am hopeful that you share in the vision of creating a more inclusive and supportive community for all its residents. I would greatly appreciate any assistance or information you can provide in this regard.

1. Sale and Leaseback – Leaseback, short for "sale-and-leaseback", is a financial transaction in which one sells an asset and leases it back for the long term; therefore, one continues to be able to use the asset but no longer owns it.
2. Income Strip – At its simplest, an income strip investment combines a strong tenant covenant, with a long-term lease and a forward funding arrangement to give an investor a stable and secure income stream. The strong tenant covenant frequently comes from the public sector such as local councils, and the long-term lease often runs between 30 and 50 years.

1. Temporary accommodation for homeless relief

Questions 1 and 2 are aimed at those councils whose TA figures were not published in the corresponding quarterly statistics published by what was MHCLG - most councils can simply refer me to those MHCLG publications.
3. The total number of households currently in temporary accommodation (whether placed in council or non-council housing, whether inside or outside the local authority area).
4. The number of households that were newly placed in temporary accommodation each month since January 2021 (their tenancy/placement began that month). Preferably this figure should exclude households transferred between different temporary accommodation placements.
5. How many households in temporary accommodation currently pay their rent either to the council or via the council?
6. Of the households in question 5, how many are currently in arrears on their rent by at least four weeks/one month (or any similar timeframe used by the council in its records, for example, six weeks)?
7. Please state how many applications for homelessness support since 1 April 2021 have been rejected due to the applicant being ineligible for public funds under No Recourse to Public Funds rules – this is an overall figure, not a monthly one. If a figure for NRPF is unavailable, please provide a figure for applications rejected due to the applicant being ineligible under s185 of the Housing Act 1996
8. Were the applicants referred to in question 7 given accommodation regardless of their housing legislation eligibility (for example, via Everyone In or a successor scheme)? Please provide any information held on how many of the applicants covered in question 7 were given accommodation in this way.
