    Statement Upheld Homelessness 23-Apr-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate Ms X’s complaint about the Council’s handling of her daughter’s homeless case. This is because the Council agreed to resolve the complaint early by providing a proportionate remedy for the injustice caused.

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Trees 23-Apr-2025

  • London Borough of Harrow (24 014 415)

    Statement Upheld Homelessness 16-Apr-2025

    Summary: The Council was at fault for failing to provide Mr X with interim accommodation when he was homeless. Mr X slept rough, which is an injustice. The Council also made inadequate inquiries and took too long to issue formal homelessness decisions. This delayed Mr X’s access to his review and appeal rights. The Council has agreed to apologise, make a new decision, and make a payment to Mr X. It will also act to improve its services.

  • London Borough of Harrow (24 010 787)

    Statement Upheld Homelessness 13-Apr-2025

    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about temporary accommodation provided to the complainant by the Council being unsuitable for her household’s medical needs. Were we to investigate, it is likely we would find fault causing the complainant injustice because the Council did not carry out a review of its decision in accordance with the Housing Act 1996. However, the Council has remedied any injustice to the complainant during our consideration of the complaint and so further investigation by us would not lead to a different outcome.

To remedy this injustice, the Council has agreed to apologise, make a symbolic payment and take action to improve its service.
