Notes: Figures prior to December 2001 are taken from the HL2 summary return. Figures from January 2002 onwards are provided by the HL1 individual case returns under the new homeless electronic data capture system.
Some applications will have been from households that applied previously in the same year - the extent of repeat applications prior to 2002 is difficult to assess from existing data.
1. The increase in applications between 2001-02 and 2002-03 is primarily due to flooding in the Moray area at the end of 2002.
