There are a total of 202 households from Grenfell Tower and Walk that were made homeless and require rehousing by the Council


Of these 202 households, there are 19 households that have not yet been rehoused in permanent accommodation: 5 households are currently in emergency accommodation (2 in hotels and 3 in serviced apartments) and 14 households are in temporary accommodation


Of these 19 households, 13 households have accepted an offer of permanent accommodation. We expect the Council to do whatever is necessary to ensure these households can move and settle into their permanent homes as swiftly as possible, but to do so sensitively and taking into account individual households' specific needs


The remaining 6 households have not yet accepted an offer of permanent accommodation. The Council reports that a suitable property that meets their needs has been reserved for each household. We continue to provide support to the Council to ensure every survivor is able to move into a home that meets their needs as soon as possible.
