Summary of Social Housing Assessment 2016
The purpose of the Assessment is to count the total number of households qualified for social housing support to inform policy and plan for the right types of housing support. It brings together information provided by local authorities about the numbers of households assessed as qualified for housing support on a prescribed date - 21 September 2016.
The headline figure from the Assessment is ‘net need’ – that is the number of households qualifying for social housing support whose social housing need is not being met. The net need figure from this Assessment is 91,600 households – this is a 1.9% increase on the last count, undertaken in 2013.
The report provides a breakdown of the data by set criteria – local authority, age, household composition, current tenure, basis of need, accommodation requirements, source of income, length of time on the list, etc.
