The “Percentage of successful Relief Duty outcomes” indicator achieved a result of 58.51% against a target of 60%, missing its target within 10%. Quarter three’s outcome is a higher result when comparing to the last quarter (Q2: 56.16%) and also much higher when comparing to the same quarter the previous year (35.29%).

The outcome of 58.51% of homelessness relieved in the quarter demonstrates good performance and is significantly higher than the national average of homelessness relieved for the quarter of 40.7%, taken from the new DLUCH interactive data dashboard. The team have also performed much better than the Kent average of 40.1%, also taken from the DLUCH interactive data dashboard. As reiterated in quarter one’s report, the target of 60% successful Relief Duty outcomes is an ambitious target, significantly higher than national figures on the percentages of homelessness being successfully relieved. When the target was originally set, there were no national figures to benchmark against.

It is recognised that relieving homelessness is more difficult than preventing homelessness, with restricted access to the Private Rented Sector because of unaffordable market rents and an increase in demand for private rented accommodation from those who are not economically disadvantaged. Additionally, applicants who are in priority need and unintentionally homeless, can only be owed the relief duty of 56 days, before they become owed the main housing duty, giving only a short window of opportunity to relieve homelessness.
