Information about lettings to local authority landlords is collected via the Housing Strategy Statistical Appendix (HSSA). Estimates of lettings made to people ‘other than homeless applicants’ have been calculated using the total number of all local authority lettings made to both new and existing social housing tenants (but excluding mutual exchanges) less the number of lettings made to households owed the main homelessness duty (section 193(2) of the Housing Act 1996).
Table 1 shows the percentage of all local authority lettings made to households who were not owed the main homelessness duty for each region from 2000-01 to 2007-08.

Information about lettings to registered social landlords (RSLs) is collected through the Continuous Recordings of Lettings (CORE) system. Estimates of lettings to people ‘other than homeless applicants’ have been calculated using the total number of all registered social landlord lettings made to both new and existing social housing tenants less the number of lettings recorded as being made to households owed the main homelessness duty (section 193(2) of the Housing Act 1996) and who were recorded as having been referred or nominated by a local authority.
Table 3 shows the percentage of all registered social landlord lettings made to households who were not owed the main homelessness duty for each region from 2000-01 to 2007-08.
