Question
To ask the Scottish Government, further to the answer to question S6W-18542 by Shirley-Anne Somerville on 13 June 2023, when it will publish the next cohort of data on homelessness for displaced Ukrainians who have arrived in Scotland, following the August 2023 release, and how regularly data will be published thereafter.
Answer
The Scottish Government gathers data on displaced Ukrainians applying for homelessness support as part of the statutory collection which feeds into the Homelessness in Scotland official statistics series. The intention is to publish this data six-monthly, in line with the timing of the Homelessness in Scotland publication schedule. Annual statistics are published around late August and a six-monthly update, to give an indication of trends ahead of the next annual publication, is published around late January/early February.
