Homes for Ukraine Scheme - Find a freedom of information request

1. How many guests and sponsors have been matched in your council under the Homes for Ukraine Scheme?

2. If you answered yes to question one, how many guests have been matched with sponsors under the Homes for Ukraine Scheme since 18 March 2022? I define the number of guests matched as instances a match took place rather than individuals. I.E. if a family of three was matched with a sponsor that would count as one.

3. How many times has the council been contacted since 18 March 2022 by a sponsor needing to end the sponsorship relationship early?

4. How many times has the council been contacted since 18 March 2022 by a guest needing to end the sponsorship relationship early? If you do not collect a breakdown of information between sponsor or guest contacting, it is fine to give a total of how many times the council has been contacted by any relevant party needing to end the sponsorship relationship early.

5. How many times has the council provided overnight hotel accommodation after the sponsorship relationship has broken down? I define times as how many guests (classifying one family as one guest) have been offered hotel accommodation. I.E. if a guest family of four was offered two hotel rooms for two nights in June and two hotel rooms for three nights in August, that would count as one time.

6. How many times has the sponsorship relationship broken down and the guest has been housed by a different sponsor? 

7. How many times has the sponsorship relationship broken down and the guest has been registered as homeless, with the Council's statutory homelessness duties being applied?
