Notes: Percentages are based on all households assessed in period, including lost contact/withdrawal/resolved. For this analysis, the category of 'homeless' includes potentially homeless.

In the case of repeat applications, the most recent assessment was selected. There is therefore no double counting within household.
1. Figures include estimates for Angus and Falkirk based on previous data.
2. Data missing due to technical difficulties in submitting HL1 data.
3. Figures may represent an underestimate due to technical difficulties.
