Homelessness prevented: accommodation secured for 6+ months

Higher is better. One of the measures behind the homelessness score; councils are listed by their rank on it alone, which is not their overall rank. The median of the 130 is 51.7%.

Share of prevention duties ended where the household secured accommodation for at least 6 months.
