Vulnerable households
Ealing Council has approved a new policy for placing homeless households in temporary accommodation.
Ealing Council's Cabinet approved a new policy in October 2026 to standardise the placement of homeless households in temporary accommodation and private rented sector offers. This decision aims to balance the pressures of homelessness and limited housing supply with the need for lawful, fair, and suitable placements for these vulnerable households.
The policy introduces a transparent three-zone framework to guide decisions, as reported by Councillor Louise Brett, Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Safe and Genuinely Affordable Homes. No further discussions or decisions on this topic are currently scheduled in the supplied material.
