00:17to 1,600 families and individuals at a cost of about £20 million per year. Efforts to increase
00:24self-contained units have reduced reliance on hotels. There are now 1,330 self-contained
00:31units with nightly rates down to £57. Housing cabinet member Hetty Wood says proactive
00:37steps aim to ensure everyone has a roof while seeking permanent accommodation.
