Mr. Mike Allen:

I will be clear that it is a form of homelessness for a number of reasons, one being that it is a form of homelessness under the legislation. The way in which we, as taxpayers, fund the accommodation is under section 10. Families who find themselves in these circumstances have case managers from the team that is also funded under section 10 because the family are homeless. We cannot state we are paying to put a roof over their heads and for support services because they are homeless but that they really are not homeless as they are. I absolutely accept that there is a useful distinction to be made between the high-end accommodation in which people are secure and accommodation at the lower end-----
