The table below shows how many people<br />
we housed from each band, and the size<br />
<strong>of</strong> property they were rehoused <strong>in</strong>.<br />
Total lett<strong>in</strong>gs <strong>for</strong> 2006/2007 (<strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g<br />

From this <strong>in</strong><strong>for</strong>mation, it is clear that we<br />
have many more people wait<strong>in</strong>g <strong>for</strong> <strong>hous<strong>in</strong>g</strong><br />

It is very difficult to estimate the average<br />
length <strong>of</strong> time that someone will need to<br />
wait be<strong>for</strong>e be<strong>in</strong>g rehoused. This is<br />
because it depends on th<strong>in</strong>gs such as the<br />
number <strong>of</strong> people bidd<strong>in</strong>g on a particular<br />
property, and their band and priority date<br />
compared with your own.<br />
When first register<strong>in</strong>g on Locata you will<br />
receive a Locata user guide, which will<br />
