Data Provider: Welsh Government National Statistics Eligible households by local authority area and ethnicity
None
[Collapse]EligibilityA household is accepted as statutory homeless by a local authority if it is eligible, unintentionally homeless, and falls within a defined priority need category, such as households with dependent children. The Welsh Government introduced secondary legislation (starting from 1 March 2001) extending the priority need categories to include those aged 16 and 17. Therefore the category ‘eligible, homeless but not in priority need\’ is no longer applicable for those aged 16 or 17 after March 2001. [Filtered]

General description

The information is based on a quarterly statistical return completed by local authorities in Wales. From April 2002 onwards the return was revised and extended to collect information about the age and ethnicity of applicants, the types of household accepted as homelessness and the length of time households stay in temporary accommodation.

The information is collected in order to establish the number and type of households that were accepted as homeless by local authorities during the period and the reasons why these households are homeless. It is also used to establish the number of homeless households in temporary accommodation and the types of accommodation provided. This data is used by the Welsh Government, homelessness agencies and other housing organisations, in order to help monitor trends in the overall level of statutory homelessness across Wales.

From 2011-12, these data are only available annually.

Quality information
1. This data on ethnic group comes from self-classification by an individual or household.
2. This data covers ethnicity of the applicant, not the ethnicity of every person in the household.
3. Homelessness data may be subject to seasonal variations, however the data shown in this cube has not been seasonally adjusted and care should be taken when making comparisons between successive quarters.
4. All the figures are rounded independently to the nearest 5 to protect the identity of individuals. As a result, there may be a difference between the sum of the constituent items and the total. An asterisk is shown when the data item is disclosive or not sufficiently robust for publication.

Data collection and calculation

The information presented here is based on Welsh local authorities' actions under the homelessness provisions of the Housing Act 1996. This covers the decision as to whether or not there is an obligation under the Act for the local authority to help the household. That is whether the authority accepts that the household is eligible, unintentionally homeless and falls within a priority need group. In this case the household is accepted as statutory homeless.
