It is a legal requirement to provide interim accommodation to households who approach us for homelessness assistance if the Council have reason to believe they are homeless, eligible for assistance and in priority need, and to provide temporary accommodation to households once the Council have accepted a housing dut. The continued shortage of supply has meant that the Council is unable to source enough self-contained accommodation and has thus needed to continue using hotels to meet its statutory duties.
