    dct:description "Homeless applicants may be placed in temporary accommodation while the Local<br/>Authority assesses their application or while awaiting the offer of a permanent let.  <br/><br/>The figures on households in temporary accommodation relate to households<br/>which have been placed in temporary accommodation by a Local Authority under<br/>the Homeless Persons legislation. This will include households for whom the Local<br/>Authority's decision and final action is still pending, as well as households which<br/>were secured such accommodation as a final action by the authority under the<br/>legislation. The data provide a snapshot picture of the numbers in temporary<br/>accommodation as at the last day in each quarter and are collected in the summary<br/>HL2 return." ;
