bed and breakfast placements
Ealing Council is securing new temporary homes to reduce reliance on bed and breakfast placements for homeless households.
Ealing Council's Cabinet approved plans in March 2026 to secure up to 400 new temporary homes for homeless households, aiming to reduce the council's annual temporary accommodation budget. This strategy moves away from previous methods, including bed and breakfast placements, and seeks to improve housing quality.
The initiative is projected to generate substantial cost savings for the council. A 10-year-plus lease option for 200 units is estimated to result in an average annual saving of at least £9.23k per property, totalling £20.099m over the full term. No further discussions are currently scheduled.
