Notes
1  Households found to be eligible for assistance, unintentionally homeless and falling within a priority need group, and consequently owed a main homelessness duty under the 1996 Housing Act.
Decisions after 1996 were made under the 1996 Housing Act, but include any residual 1985 Act cases.
2  Figures prior to 1997, which reflect decisions taken under the 1985 Housing Act, include around 4,000 non-priority need acceptances each year, which can not be removed from the reason for loss series; consequently, totals for these years are not consistent with those presented in the total acceptances and priority need series (Tables 621, 622, 632 etc).
Totals may not equal the sum of components because of rounding.
