There is a natural variation between providers who accommodate families as opposed to single vulnerable clients, which is most clearly demonstrated by provider D who provides mostly 1-4 bed family size property.

 

Throughout 2020/21, we have worked collaboratively with our accommodation contractors in order to sustain clients in accommodation, including support provided by primarily by our Welfare Officers, our security team onsite and BHT who were commissioned to provide additional onsite support.

 

There was a reduction in cancellations from 132 to 109 by our longer term contracted accommodation providers (A, B, C & D) between 2019/20 and 2020/21. The largest rise in cancellations in 2020/21 was by hotel and short term ‘spot purchase’ providers, accommodation provided as part of the ‘Everyone In’ initiative.
