Question
Will the Cabinet Secretary confirm how many 'minded to' letters in intentionality cases, as referenced in paragraph 17.15 in the Code of Guidance: for Local Authorities on the Allocation of Accommodation and Homelessness document, were issued to individuals for each of the last three years?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Housing and Local Government
Welsh Government guidance recommends that a local authority issues a letter to a household notifying them that they are ‘minded to’ find them intentionally homeless. We do not collect data in relation to the number of ‘minded to’ letters issued.
The latest full year of data suggests that 90 households were found to be intentionally homeless in 2023-24, compared to 93 households in 2022-23 and 72 households in 2021-22.
