Authored by Government of Jersey and published on 17 August 2021.
Prepared internally, no external costs.

Request

Please supply the following statistics which are usually published in the annual 'Social Security Department: Minister's Report' in Section 6 ('Tax Funded Services and Benefits'). The last such report published was for the year 2017 (released in August 2018):

A table showing the number of Income Support households by tenure and property type as at 31st December 2020.

In the last published report for 2017, this table appears at the top of page 58 and is labelled 'Table 40'.

If no such statistics are yet available for the year end 2020, please supply the same table for the year end 2019, or if the statistics for 2019 are also not available, then please provide the same table for the year end 2018.

Response

The opendata page of gov.je provides this information.

Accommodation and tenure info up to and including 2020 is found at Income Support Statistics - Income Support Accommodation Types - Government of Jersey Open Data

This link will take you to the relevant data https://opendata.gov.je/dataset/7eb1bdf4-a2e9-4b6b-9b47-e61aba43bf1a/resource/cc60343f-33ad-4eec-973b-f6b3eddd86a8/download/income_support_accommodation_type_2020.csv  

Article 23 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 has therefore been applied as the information is accessible by other means.

FOI exemption(s) applied:

Article 23 Information accessible to applicant by other means

(1) Information is absolutely exempt information if it is reasonably available to the applicant, otherwise than under this Law, whether or not free of charge.
