Households on the housing waiting list in additional preference group: Number in reasonable preference group in urgent housing need (8606) Metric type
- Help text
- This is how many of the households on the housing waiting list in reasonable preference groups who are also given ‘additional preference’. In addition to the statutory reasonable preference groups, local authorities may give additional preference to households in reasonable preference requirements that are in urgent housing need.
Examples of people with urgent housing needs to whom housing authorities may consider giving additional preference within their allocation scheme include: a. those owed a homelessness duty as a result of violence or threats of violence likely to be carried out and who as a result require urgent re-housing; b. those who need to move because of urgent medical reasons.
