Members asked why the number of private rented tenancies made available that were available and likely to be available for at least 6 months had reduced. Officers responded that there had been properties secured in the private sector and that subsequently more funding had become available to more would be made available in due course.

Members asked for the reasons why a review of homelessness had been delayed given that the individuals are some of the most vulnerable.
